A rum that smells and tastes like cookies. The sweet and, above all, nutty, woody and spicy aromas are already apparent on the nose. On the palate, the texture is more reminiscent of a liqueur, the sweetness is very dominant and probably artificial. The finish is again reminiscent of a liqueur. Weak alcohol, but well integrated.
7,8:On the nose we find strawberry, banana, orange, syrupy liquorice, with abundant but balanced spices. We don't necessarily find the brand's typical "Christmas spices", but a more woody, nutty notes. Aeration brings out pastry notes with cookies, sweetness is here. Everything is here, from butter to sweet spices, cereals and nuts. 7,5:The palate matches the nose, sweetness exhibits, with a buttery cookie topped with almonds. Coated with a nice vanilla liqueur, the rum is round, sticky and syrupy. In the background, there's a slight concentration of exotic fruit that carries the whole through to the mid-palate. 7,5:The finish is round, sweet, with a cookie baked with sweet spices and caramelized butter...
Very present caramel notes! Excellent rum!
