Nico's tasting note
On the nose, toasted barrel aromas lead the first movement. Molasses on toasted wood, walnut coated with burnt caramel, coffee and scorched spices. A vanilla and light fruity veil settles down to soothe the whole. Aeration opens up the toasted notes on roasted nuts, as well as a hint of stone fruit.
The palate is soft, rather fruity, with prunes and dark candied cherries. The rum then grabs the taste buds with slightly spicy spices, coffee and roasted nuts. The texture remains very soft and the wood gradually melts with the molasses and caramel.
The finish is rather elegant, with some orange peel and liquorice.
"A rum with a round and tender heart, wrapped in a very toasted barrel..."
