Nico's tasting notes

The nose of this rum is soft and slightly woody. The vanilla of the bourbon barrel is enhanced by a few lightly roasted nuts and oak that has passed through the flame. The wood has slightly caramelized under the effect of the heat, dressing up a rum with a rather light heart.

Aeration tends to undress the rum and reveal its airy side. First wood, then roasted spices, vanilla and caramel. What's left is a soft, fruity quality, somewhere between peach and pear in syrup.

The palate is balanced and delicious. Caramelization sets the tone and coats the well-toasted oak, which has released all its vanilla. A few coconut shavings join the flambé, melting onto the wood before a few sweet spices settle in.

The finish is light, a little peppery and almost spicy.

"A fairly light rum that's easy to grasp and enjoy with ease..."
