Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 54 2020
Sip this one neat and give it air — that's how tasters got the most out of it. Cane juice from Ghana, but not the ester-monster you'd expect: apple, citrus and honey up front, then a wave of chai-like spice (cinnamon, cardamom, clove) and a dry, slightly smoky, spicy finish. A few found it a touch acidic or "flach," but nearly everyone agreed the 64.3% is buried beautifully.

How does Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 54 2020 taste?
Aggregated from 45 community reviews.
Spicy, fruity Ghana cane rum, heat well hidden Well-liked for how invisibly the high ABV sits and its chai-spice-meets-tropical-fruit twist. The catch: a short, acidic finish and a body some call thin for the strength.

Ghana ist immer wieder spannend meiner Meinung nach. Dieser geht mir aber ein wenig zu sehr in die Richtung Obstler bzw. Birnenschnaps. Aber im Grunde genommen nicht ganz so schlecht, schöne Abwechslung vom Eineitsbrei für Zwischendurch
Review by cigares
Un rhum gouté au GRF en 2025. Masterclass RumClub. Un beau nez, raffiné et élégant, des fruits frais et tropicaux sur-mûrs. Un nez plutôt pur mais auquel il manque des watts. L’entrée de bouche est décevante par rapport au nez, mais tout remonte assez vite, fruits frais et mûrs, épices et alcool. Le nous est de plus en plus perceptible, la finale est longue et élégante. La première bouche est le point faible de ce rhum.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Subtly fruity on the nose (light fruit), becoming sweeter and more palatable on the palate. One should not be misled by the initial unimpressiveness. Smoky and woody on the finish. Not the crusher like the Nanny or the Cudjoe, rather sweeter and more pleasing and not recognizable as Ghanaian from the outside. What really stands out is the incredibly good integration of the alcohol. I didn't want to give the rum 80 points at first, but fortunately I was patient enough and it is becoming more and more appealing.
Review by Skyfly
Fruity nose with sugar cane and spices. On the palate, instead of citrus fruits and green apple, tropical fruits and various Christmas spices such as cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla. The subtle roasted aroma turns into a ravenous aroma in the finish. The alcohol is perfectly integrated; the 64.3% is not noticeable
Review by Galli33
Ein sehr interessanter Rum🤔 Noten des Zuckerrohrs und klassische florale/vegetale Noten wie man sie von einem Agricole bzw. Rum von gepresstem Zuckkerrohr kennt, sucht man hier vergeblich. Dennoch macht er ein ordentliches Bild. Der Alkohol ist nicht top integriert. Ein paar Wassertropfen helfen.
Review by Master P
Sweet, fragrant start with vanilla, honey and citrus fruits. On the palate you immediately recognize the sweetness with a little punch, which then transforms into fruit and spice with a pleasant play of acidity. The finish is very pleasant, you don't notice the 64% at all. I'm looking forward to more older bottlings from Ghana. Many thanks for the sample
Review by Christian Rudt
Nach Nanny und Cudjoe mit Jamaika Einfluss diesmal ein "reiner" Rum aus Ghana. Schöne Zitrusfrüchte in der Nase, es wirkt relativ smooth. Am Gaumen fruchtig würzig, auch hier relativ entspannt und weit entfernt vom doch brachialen Nanny Blends. Schöne Abfüllung.
Review by Johannes
Exciting rhum from Ghana! However, I find the younger, less aged ones almost more exciting...
Review by Felix Reiber
In der Nase ist der Rum aus Ghana überaus fruchtig, frisch und angenehm würzig. Von Apfel und Zitrusfrüchten über Vanille, Honig und Gewürzen wie Zimt und Nelken ist einiges geboten. Ebenso aufregend ist er auch am Gaumen, bei dem die würzige Seite betont wird, nachdem der Antritt süß und süffig daher kommt. Die gut integrierten 64 % sorgen für eine schöne Intensität und ein warmes Mundgefühl. Der kurze bis mittlere Abgang punktet wieder mit Nelke, Zimt, Pfeffer und Fassnoten, welcher dann mit Papaya und Ananas die fruchtige Seite zum Vorschein bringt. Sehr gefällig und interessant. Danke an @Alex Kunath für das tolle Sample.
Review by Chrischi78
Fruchtig-frisch in der Nase mit Apfel, Zitrus, Vanille und Gewürzen. Am Gaumen süß und würzig, die 64 % sind solide eingebunden. Im Abgang mittellang mit Nelke, Zimt, Pfeffer sowie fruchtigen Noten von Papaya und Ananas.
Review by Nils123
Sehr fruchtig und lecker. Da der Alkohol super eingebunden ist, wirkt der Rum sehr süffig. Die feinen Zimtnoten passen hervorragend zur Fruchtigkeit. Mit Wasser wird er würziger aber auch leicht bitter.
Review by GuybrushThreepwood
First nose very spicy. Reminds me directly of a chai. Briefly went into the kitchen and smelled the chai. Yes. There are similarities. Cinnamon, cardamom, clove. After a while, some lime zest and sugar cane aromas join in. With more time and air, I also got something like pencil shavings and possibly tonka bean? I had the latter in a bottling from Amburana Wood a while ago. It warms the mouth immediately and salivation sets in straight away. The fireworks of spices continue and I'm reminded of chai again. The alcohol is really well integrated. Doesn't taste like well over 60% ABV. Blindly I would have guessed early to mid 50%. The "relationship" to a (briefly) matured Agricole is recognizable, but it's a different world. The finish is long, spicy, dry and a little peppery. In addition to the previous notes, there is now a hint of aniseed or something similar.
Review by FischeJ
Die 64,3% ABV merkt man gar nicht. Nase Vanille, leicht grassig, Orange und Apfel. Im Mund sehr ähnlich. Etwas mehr Säure und trocken. Auch im Mund merkt man den Alkoholgehalt kaum. Gute Abfüllung.
Review by Boletus
Im Geruch noch frisch und grasig mit honigsüßen Zuckerrohrnoten und einer nur sanften Gewürzuntermalung, gibt es im Geschmack nach einer anfänglich sauren Esterattacke ein ordentliches Fruchtpaket, um dann immer mehr in Richtung der Gewürze abzudriften. Beim eher trockenen Abgang finde ich dann leider gar keine Früchte mehr. Auf jeden Fall ein spannendes Profil, von dem ich gerne noch mehr probieren möchte.
Review by Schnubbii
In der Nase fruchtig und auch vergleichsweise würzig, der Alkohol sticht leicht. Am Gaumen ebenfalls fruchtig-würzig, für mich im Eindruck fast ein wenig wie eine Mischung aus Jamaika und Mhoba. Der Alkohol ist vergleichsweise gut eingebunden. Gefällt mir gut! Nur der Abgang ist angesichts des wohl eher jungen Alters recht kurz. Aber ich bin positiv überrascht, hatte nicht viel erwartet. Schöne Abfüllung, kann man durchaus mitnehmen.
Review by DosenZorn
Alkohol an der Nase nicht wahrnehmbar, dazu Vanille, Zuckerrohr/Grasig Agricole-mäßig, Apfel, Marille. Am Gaumen recht Sauer. Dort ist der Alkoholgehalt noch gut eingebunden aber spürbar. Rauchiger Abgang.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
And on to the #54, Canejuice from Ghana. Totally new to me. On the nose: Citrus notes dominantly. Green apples. Floral notes. Canejuice notes are in the background. Dryish. High abv is integrated very well. Taste: Much more spices and agricole notes on the taste. Oak. I get acidic notes that break the palate for me. These some vanilla notes in there and hints of cinnamon. Quite light bodied for a high abv rum Dry and spicy finish. Quality is there, but these flavours dont really work for my palate. But still, quite interesting experience.
Review by F.L.O.
Rumclub mit seiner Edition 54 und soweit ich richtig gezählt habe mit dem 3.Ghana (nach Nanny und cudjoe). Auch wenn er Vergleich mit der nanny nicht ganz fair ist, aber nanny bleibt für mich das Maß der Dinge. Trotzdem ein leckeres Störchen, wenn auch im Abgang etwas Säure mitschwingt. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden, macht sich aber deutlich bemerkbar wenn der Sip zu groß ist. Ich wünsch mir wieder eine Nanny.
