The complex aroma profile includes hints of banana and other exotic fruits, interwoven with sweet resin, verbena, honey tea, and subtle hints of almonds and cherries. The palate is rich and enveloping, showcasing ripe exotic fruits followed by a notable bitterness and vegetal sweetness, supported by a coppery undertone. This intriguing phase transitions into a concentration of oxidized plum brandy, Zan-style black licorice, and a touch of caramel. Overall, the Elements Eight Gold Small Batch Distillation Rum delivers a captivating sensory experience. It presents a pastry-like, exotic nose and a bittersweet, vegetal palate that culminates in a concentrated and complex finish.

Reviewers find Elements Eight Gold Small Batch Distillation Rum to be a rather greedy and well-balanced spirit. They appreciate its elegant nose with brown sugar, honey, and light woody and smoky notes, likely influenced by the molasses from Guyana or the bourbon barrel. On the palate, the rum reveals honey, vanilla, and caramelized molasses sugar with a hint of burnt notes, rounded off by a small fruity note, primarily yellow fruit. The finish is noted for its honey and cane sugar flavors, offering a long but medium-intensity experience. While reviewers acknowledge its balance and greediness, they feel it lacks the complexity to be considered an exceptional rum.
