Santos Dumont XO

Decent sipper, sweet, smooth, pleasant. Honey and bananas mostly.
Don't mix it with Coke, tastes like old person's bath water.

Its was an ok rum, but norhing special. wont by it again though

This was my first foray in rum from Brazil (no, I'm not counting Cachaca) so I didn't know what to expect. All in I was pleasantly surprised. The nose is very strong of vanilla and coffee. The first taste is all bananas and honey and is definitely sweet. I can't find any information whether sugar was added but my guess is yes since it's so sweet. Still, not a bad sipper if your tastes go more to the sweet side.

By the blind test I was nearly though it is A. H. Riise, but at the end it was too different. The start is sweet nut vanilla cane sugar taste and aroma and at the end quite strong wood + smoky tones :)

Sweetness -> 6.5/10
Strength -> 5/10

elegant rum with robust notes of caramel, toffee, and oak. rough and sophisticated sweet

Kryddig, mild och söt. Helt OK men lite söt för min del.

Didn't expected anything from so light color rum. But liked it. It has something different

Geschmackvoll und langer Gaumen. Mir persönlich zu „scharf“

Středně sladký s vůní kvašené ovoce.
Chuť hřebíček, zvláštní. Kde je dub?
Dochuť ?

Ve vůni i v chutí více nasládlý, kdysi chutnal, dnes už neosloví
