    Quite disappointing this Sajou

    What can I say about this mix...it amazed me! You can feel the vegetal part of the vaval and there are the "dirty" scents characteristic of casimir joined by the sherry cask which gives it a nice fruity and buttery note! A really successful experiment!

    Ovocna kvetinova chut i vune Skvely rum

    Chamomile tea meets green apple and is accompanied by fruit bread. Herbal tea notes linger in the taste, served on an oak board. Plus more fruit bread and dried apricot. A honey note is added in the finish. Very interesting rum.

    #4568 21.01.2024 Having a go at a few more samples. Very nice rum especially when looking at the price upon release. A bit more specific notes. Nose Light wood, very fruity, light glue and marzipan, medium vegetal note. Palate Well balanced, light wood, fruity, spicy, light vegetal, nice herbal note. Finish Medium long, medium dry, fruity. There is a faint sugarcane note in the profile.
