    We had a wonderful tasting at my birthday party on Friday. Very relaxed and cosy. Very complex and kind of heavy rum, what's not to like :-) Not as fruity as I'd expected but nice and woody with smoke and chocolate. After a few hours the nose is wonderful in the glass. Dry with a long finish.

    Much fresh berries on the palate, very pleasant.

    Having just opened the bottle, I can already see that it will gain in strength with oxidation. I was expecting a much more demanding rum... But in the end, it's very well integrated and balanced for this type of profile. The nose is fruitier than the palate, with empyreumatic aromas. The palate is darker and candied, with a smokiness that I appreciate. The finish is logical and long. This is a rum I like :)

    Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, day 13. A very sweet nose of cooked banana and raisins, cedar wood, spices and brown sugar. The attack on the palate is soft, slightly acqueous (ABV a little low?) then the aromas develop around sweetness (banana, caramel). The cedar wood is present but balanced. The finish is long, smooth and balanced, with all the aromas calming down in unison. A very fine rum!
