This rum, distilled and casked in Nicaragua, is aged for 17 years in bourbon barrels.
Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, the rum is rather light and marked by the charring of the barrel. Relatively powerful despite a reasonable degree, its aromas are for the moment quite fine and carried by the alcohol. A dry, vegetal sensation emanates from the woodiness. This is a rum that deserves a little opening time, as its profile evolves enormously after a few minutes: woody roundness, ripe fruit, fresh, resinous vegetal. The strength of the alcohol remains fiery despite everything.
The palate is seductive and surprisingly complex. After a frankly woody attack, the oak tannins deliver a whole series of vegetal, spicy, resinous, almost medicinal aromas, with a gourmet roundness. The wood comes back softened, blanched and tender, giving it the air of full-bodied vanilla tobacco.
The finish is balanced, with our soft woodiness and a hint of roasting.
"Don't miss out on a little aeration, and you'll discover a very seductive, flavorful rum..."
