A blend of Jamaica, Trinidad and Saint Lucia from Dugas under La Maison du Rhum, sweetish and spiced with candied fruit, caramel, banana and a chocolate, toasted close, an easygoing crowd pleaser at 45%.
Description
La Maison du Rhum XO is an island blend from the French house Dugas, drawing together rum from Jamaica, Trinidad and Saint Lucia and bottled at 45%. It is a friendly assembly of three Caribbean origins aimed at easy, accessible drinking rather than at the demanding sipper.
The nose is sweet and fruity, candied fruits, banana and spice leading the way. The palate brings caramel, candied fruit and spice with a slightly burnt edge, while the short finish closes on chocolate and a toasted note. Tasters find it a touch sweet, with recognisable candied fruit, caramel, chocolate and vanilla giving it a soft, approachable character. It is a solid, undemanding blend rather than a showcase of each island's individuality, the kind of relaxed pour that suits casual sipping or an easy after dinner glass for those who like their rum on the sweeter, fruitier side.
