XM Royal Gold 10-Year

Creamy and woody notes. Fruity aroma of orange peel, honey and sweet spices.
On the first sip, toffee with bitter sweet flavor. It's then linger with nutty and creamy flavor.
Creamy finishing, with hint of citrus and sweetness of maple syrup.

too young in comparison with similar El Dorado 12y. Harsher, not so round and balanced, I didn´t like so much.

Anglický suchý styl rumu. Krásně voní, ale chuť je nezajímavá, plochá.

Reminiscent of the El Dorado family of rums. It has a dark amber appearance, sweet caramel dominated aroma. The taste is sweet, smooth, caramel, honey, molasses and a slight oak barrel aftertaste. It's easily sipped and easy to like, especially at that price (UK). The sweet taste might put some off though.

A fairly priced 10 year old rum, but not my favourite brand of demerara rum. Good, but it's no El Dorado.

It has a woody smell, left it to sit for a while but still has some burn.

Good rum, with spicy flavors, good balance between sweet and alcohol.

I was just getting serious about rum. When I got the gift I didn't know this was from Guyana. El Dorado was my favorite. It took a couple of years to open the bottle. What can I say, it was worth the wait. A typical sweet and smokey Guyanian rum. I've had it straight and mixed and in cocktails. And will again!

Rhum assez léger avec une robe claire. Sur le beurre, noisette et noix. Très beau dernier nez.

Très bon rhum, un peu alcool et épices avec un arrière goût de vanille. pas trop sucré, long en bouche.
Se déguste très bien avec de la glace.

XM Royal Gold 10 year comes from Guyana, same distillery as the El Dorado rum family. XM Royal Gold 10y has a very nice dark rum color, but the smell and taste has too much alcohol into it to make it anything more pleasant than 3. Otherwise better to stick with El Dorado 12 year old rum.

Ein handwerklich gut gemachter Demerara Rum.
Schönes goldenes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase sehr kräftig und stark, Düfte von Holz, Leder, Vanille.
Im Gaumen auch sehr kräftig, Aromen von gebranntem Karamell, Früchte mit zarte Holznoten kombiniert.
Leicht süss und sehr lecker.
Im langen Abgang zuerst etwas Schärfe dann Vanillegebäck mit Fruchtsalat.
Eine Freude Ihn zu Trinken.

A well-crafted Demerara rum.
Beautiful golden amber in the glass.
In the nose very powerful and strong, fragrances of wood, leather, vanilla.
On the palate also very strong, aromas of burnt caramel, fruits combined with delicate wood notes.
Slightly sweet and very tasty.
In the long finish first some sharpness then vanilla pastry with fruit salad.
A joy to drink.

Peu de sucre et de la puissance. Bienvenu en Jamaïque. Profil similaire à un appleton estate, du bois un nez puissant et aromatique, des notes de vanille...jolie rhum et prix raisonnable

Tried it once and I have to say I liked the 5yo more. Nothing wrong with this one tho.

Bon rhum, mais manque de saveur, il reste très bon à déguster

Rhum de Guyane très bon en bouche.
A la fois riche et varié. Un rhum à boire plutôt en digestif. A acheter les yeux fermés.

Another great addition to the XM portfolio

This rum is so yummy! so flavorful, caramel and toffee, wood, vanilla, tropical fruits.

This is, for me, a really enjoyable rum. Classic demerara.....plenty of vanilla and toffee.....easy drinking

Dark Demerara spice and vanilla. A workhorse rum, sip or mixed

Super great rum, sipped or mixed...
