Nico's tasting notes
In brief: woody - vanilla - caramel - coconut - tobacco - round - balanced
On the nose, you'll find the whole Latino style, inviting, suave and rounded. Generations of Maestros have succeeded one another in perfecting this famous vanilla and caramel woodiness. It's distributed here with enough force to make this rum a great tasting experience. We don't fall into the sugar trap and enjoy the toasted coconut and nuts that complete the profile.
As the rum is passed around the rim of the glass, the sweet vanilla comes more to the fore, having carried off a raw, white wood as it exudes from the liquid.
The palate confirms that this is a rather serious rum, which has not come to flatter the sweetest palates. There's that typical, sophisticated woodiness, with a little bite, a little sweetness, balance in short. The texture is fairly light, with no intention of overpowering, but simply satisfying, with that lovely toasted coconut.
The finish leaves an impression of tasty wood and a veil of tobacco, an invitation to cigar?
"When simplicity is an art, and no disguises or pretences are sought, the result is a fair and effective ron..."
