Aroma visualization from community tastings
Richland Rum Single Estate Old South Georgia
Whiskey drinkers curious about rum will feel at home here — several tasters said it smells and drinks more like an Irish or Tennessee whiskey than a rum. Made from sugar cane honey, it's fruity with cherry, plum and vanilla up front, then a spicy, oaky, slightly smoky palate. At 43% it drinks hot, with an afterburn a few people flagged. Divisive, not universally loved.
The community says- Cherry and plum nose
- Strong afterburn
- Divisive style

How does Richland Rum Single Estate Old South Georgia taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Whiskey-like cane sipper, hot for 43% People are genuinely split: some find it a warm, fruity whiskey-like sipper, others call it sharp and not their thing. Best after resting 15 minutes; less interesting mixed.

Review by TriRoel
Smells like an irish whisky, tastes really strong for 43abb. Medium long aftertaste
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another wonderful rum from Richland. A smooth well balanced rum once rested for at least 15 minutes. The nose is intense and balanced. Fruity from berries and dried fruits. There is also a spicy part and some wine. The palate is rounded and smooth and compared to the classic the oak and spice boosted quite a bit. Spice with vanilla, brow sugar and berries. The finish is long, has a slight bitterness to the oaky/vanilla lead out.

Agréable surprise. Évoque le whisky.
Review by Dirk E.
Certainly a rum, but not my cup of tea. I found it hot and warm at the beginning and only later did I recognize a little chocolate and tobacco. It was much more interesting on the nose.

Pretty similar to Jack Daniels
