Check the bottle. See if it looks a little thin. Ask for a sample. It ainβt rum or not like we get in Florida, Caribbean, Central or South America.

This little number was gifted to me. I was a little pessimistic at first not knowing anything about this bottle.
Over all it was spicy and had similar notes to a young Spayside whiskey.

I found this rum pretty good but sort of in the not so great in anything department. Let me be clear that this rum has high marks in every category and should never be turned away. If you have The chance get it, taste it, and enjoy. There is no overwhelming flavors or overwhelming distinctions. Yes it is very good, but not a 10.

Being a Georgia resident I always wanted to try it. Had a pour of it at my favorite restaurant. Its aged in bourbon barrels so guess what, It smelled and tasted like a slightly sweet bourbon. I have nothing against bourbon but I don't like my rum to taste like it.

Aged about 3 years and you can tell. Not as refined as some of the older rums out there. Not horrible but definitely not worth the price.

One off the best I've tasted in the past 2 years, a little bit of toughness in the first second, then it simply opens, with a long aftertaste. Nice Β΄to have it on the marked in Denmark.

What IS Rum? This IS! Zero Bourbon

Rum like tequila is what it is because of what it's distilled from. Unlike vodka, gin, scotch, whiskey all come from grain. Rum whether its made with cane juice or molasses it's still derived from sugar. For me this is what makes rum so special. Even though its all distilled sugar the spectrum of flavors is dramatically broad by way of techniques from the soil to the glass.
Richland is pretty unique in flavor. It's a wood rum so don't even bother if thats not your thing. There is a lot of clarity going on here. On the nose it's fresh cut white oak, leather and terpintine along with cooked sugar, vanilla and almonds. In the mouth there's a shocking sweetness but not the overly sugary kind. The almonds continue on the tongue, the type of almond flavor you get from cracked cherry pits. And oak. A lot of oak. It's as if you dipped an oak popsicle in maple syrup.
It's not cheap but it doesn't taste cheap. On the contrary it's exceedingly rich to the point that I was a bit fatigued towards the end of the second pour.
So what is rum? I would argue this is a truer rum than one thats been loaded with extra sugar like an El Dorado or the likes of. I'll take the influences of wood barrels any day over the influences of additives. And by the way it's not bourbon barrels Richland uses. They use virgin white oak. If you smell raw white oak you'll think bourbon, but its oak and bourbon doesn't have a monopoly on it.
