Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, we discover a pleasant caramel, with something tropical and exotic, a little moist and suave. It is adorned with a vegetal, rather oily envelope, like a cigar leaf. The sweet spices are perfectly at home in this brown, gourmand atmosphere.
Aeration emphasizes roasting, with aromas of sweet coffee, toasted and caramelized nuts. A more herbal, aromatic character sparkles at the heart of the rum, giving it a solid backbone.
The palate is warm and rather sweet, with a rum that settles quietly on the taste buds. It's accompanied by a good whiff of sweet spices, notably languorous vanilla, dark and bold. The coffee, and more broadly the roast, are well present, but also express themselves with a certain roundness.
The finish is gently caramelized, and as on the nose, extended by a touch of more concentrated aromas, and even a hint of salt.
"A gourmand, roasted rum, discreetly supported by slightly fuller-bodied aromas..."
