Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, we find the singular identity of Paranubes eaux-de-vie, with very velvety, sweet vegetal accents that veer towards ripe tomato, even ketchup sauce. Here, the sauce becomes spicier, slightly woody, and enters the realm of barbecue sauce.
Aeration reveals a full-bodied raw sugar, still full of molasses and toffee aromas. The white woodiness also brings a sensation of sweetness, with full-bodied, almost milky white nuts and pretty spices with hints of cigar box.
The palate is a concentrate of ripe cane, held in a sheath of exotic wood and spices. Roasted nuts provide delicious roasted flavors on the mid-palate, and join a peppery cane whose flesh is almost smoky.
The finish is very bourbon-infused, with sweet, toasty cereals and a veil of vanilla that builds into the length.
"Despite its relatively young age, the quality of the casks gives this cane brandy a beautiful patina..."
