    Poor alcohol integration so better use this one for a mixer.

    From the smell sweeter than the taste. Tastes thinner than you would expect.

    7:On the nose, sauternes is felt immediately, the power of the beverage is expressed in the form of floral notes. There are aromas of ripe yellow fruits and sweet melon which give consistency and attenuate this ethereal aspect. The alcohol is still present but it is loaded with banana, like in an early wine, with hints of solvent. We continue in the world of wine, with very ripe and fermented white grapes. The caramel brings us back to the rum and consolidates the whole. Allowed to breathe, a few lemony splashes tickle the nostrils. The fruits are fresher, less stewed, with apple and pear spiced with ginger. Everything is quite delicate and balanced, with no aroma really prevailing over another. 7,5:The attack on the palate is very soft and even silky. The intensity of the alcohol that we had perceived on the nose has completely evaporated. The rum floats in a caramel and coffee syrup, with lightly roasted nuts. The sensation is decidedly soft, almost creamy, but it is a light, fluid cream. 7,3:The finish is logically very sweet, long too, with well-known markers of caramel and vanilla. A nice sipper....

    What a pleasure to try this spirit.
