Nico's tasting notes

At first, the nose is rather light, with aromas of tart red fruit and banana candies, a little like English candy. These fruits then thicken, and we move towards dried apricots or candied cherries.

With aeration, a touch of slightly smoky fruit paste adds complexity and depth. Its slightly licorice-like vegetal character evokes dark but fluid molasses, overlaying toasty oak and roasted nuts.

The palate is much fuller, fuller and more concentrated than the nose would have suggested. With its oily texture, the rum invades and coats the palate beautifully. Its complex aromas of guava jam, quince paste, baked apples and cores form a solid pastry character, soon joined by notes of molasses, coffee and roasted nuts.

The finish is round and very greedy, on licorice and coffee, with a slight hint of resin and even camphor.

"It's mainly thanks to its oily, dark mouth that we understand the name of this rum..."
