Nico's tasting notes

The nose opens with a woodiness tinged with sweet spices, which quickly darkens to give us a roasted profile. From this almost mineral aspect comes a slightly metallic, coppery sensation, which in turn runs off into pits, more particularly cherry.

Aeration reveals more of the barrel, with vanilla accents of American oak. A little coconut milk concentrate coats the yellow fruit, before the red fruit tannins return to provide a sharper edge.

The palate is very coating and flavorful, with concentrated rum that takes over the entire palate in a fraction of a second. A certain sweetness is felt, accompanied by the thickness of greedy American oak. Red fruit and apricot jam then take hold on the mid-palate, with a hint of stone.

The finish returns to a toasty woodiness, which finally gives us an extra touch of vanilla.

"A very nice presence on the palate, for this fruity rum full of chewiness..."
