This month, we are thrilled to partner with **[Decadent Drinks LTD](https://rumx.com/en/bottlers/decadent-drinks-ltd/?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum)**, better known as **“Rum Sponge”** , to bring you an extraordinary opportunity to taste some exceptional rums. Angus MacRaild, the mastermind behind Rum Sponge and co-author of the renowned [WhiskyFun blog](https://www.whiskyfun.com?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum), has generously provided us with **30 exclusive sets** of the following rums (2cl each):

The lucky winners will also be invited to a **one-of-a-kind online tasting event** with Angus himself, who will guide you through his exceptional releases and share fascinating insights from the world of rum.

> [@Exclusive presale: Rum Sponge via Armagnac.de](https://community.rumx.com/t/7715):
>
> Dear RumX Community, we are excited to announce the launch of a highly anticipated feature in the RumX app - the simplified in-app shopping experience! Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard to develop this new feature, which was one of the top requests from our [RumX Summer Survey 2022](https://community.rumx.com/t/big-rumx-survey-2022/4821). Gone are the days of being redirected to external partner store websites and dealing with varying levels of usability. Now, you can enjoy a seamless shopping experience directly within the RumX app! …

Don’t miss your chance to explore these remarkable rums and learn from the expert, Angus MacRaild! Huge thanks to Angus and the team behind for this fantastic opportunity! 🤩🙌🏼

**Good luck to all, and happy tasting!** 🍀🥃

Your RumX Team

Hey, I know there already were discussions about the fairness of (re-)posting tastings with photos added while the original intention was probably to mainly add new tastings with photos which really happened at that time. Now they are of course a few shades in exploiting that system. Probably the most dubious is making a gallery of all your samples and bottles (even unopened) and posting them all within a month without having really tasted them at that time. Perfect fairness does not exist, I know, but this is…I don’t know… “not so cool”. Any idea on how to create more fairness?

</div>

Adding text as a must will avoid this.  
Anyway I think posting a testing without written notes is not really interesting. Just a quote ? Who will be interested if you cannot argue your x.x/10 ?

But is it a real problem? As when the dude opens the bottle/sample he will do the proper job, just later.

I don’t care about the content of these tastings at all, but about the dubious lottery entries and how they effect everyone’s chances.
