Finally got to sample the other half of this package. Lovely rum which needs to rest 20-30 minutes to get the full package off flavours Lightly dry and a slight bitterness with some fruits and chocolate. The glass the day after is really nice on the nose.
On the nose is pretty nice, better than the tropical, with honey marzipan and some hints of grappa. This dramatically changes while drinking, extremely bitter and metallic, a great astringency but little taste, mainly chemical, and only a little floral note. It's a no.
Voici un rhum mal aimé et pourtant... 👃 typique d'un jamaicain. Il faut lui laisser 10 bonnes minutes d'aération pour que ses notes de solvant et de colle laissent place à des notes de banane et ananas flambées. 👄 puissante, on sent bien les presque 70 degrés. Le solvant laisse la place aux fruits tropicaux bien mûrs et flambés. Finale moyenne. Un excellent heavy rum qui mérite d'être redécouvert mais qui ne peut être apprécié si on a le courage de vouloir se frotter à ce genre de rhums très puissants.
nice experiment between Continental and tropical aging but unfortunately both rums are almost not drinkable for me...the continental in the case rather reminds of a mixture of Williams pear and glue.... not harmonious no matter how long you let him breathe and in the finish totally after burnt plastic...
