    Étant un grand fan des high ester je ne peux que adorer celui-ci. Il est extrêmement aromatique et complexe, on y trouve une belle dose de fruits (Tropicale / Sec) avec une super gourmandise (Caramel brûlé / Brioche / Créme / Pâtissier / Pain d'épices), les épices bien que douces sont plutôt présentent et accompagne a merveille cette gourmandise (Vanille / Cannelle / Girofle / Muscade / Réglisse). Avec tout cela, la longue fermentation apporte énormément de notes empyreumatiques qui s'armonisent parfaitement avec le reste (Caoutchouc / Goudron / Acétique / Cuivre / Fumé / Tourbe / Plastique). L'olive iodé en saumure est bien présente du début à la fin c'est un peu comme le chef d'orchestre de ce rhum. Wow quel rum, c'est tout à fait mon style ! Bravo Guillaume ! 👏

    Terrible ! Une surprise auquelle je ne m'attendais pas. Quel rhum superbe. On pense que le nez est excellent mais la bouche est une véritable claque de douceur et d'arôme ! Très très bon, un rhum avec une profondeur aromatique impressionnante.

    The fermented molasses gives a wide variety of empyreumatic esters, well complemented by barrel aging. A great discovery for lovers of the English woody style. The finish is extra rich and long.

    I had to look this up after my first taste, as it did taste so much different than other Melasse Rums I thought it might be an Agricole after all. Quite fruity in a way I was not expecting and must be refined in a second tasting. I liked it very much. Second tasting: Thinking I found the reason it is so different, Caramel and malt go with grapes and herbs, but also some fresh sweetness. Are all Grand Aromes along those lines? Worth checking this out...
