    "Un rhum dĂ©gustĂ© au Spirits Museum. Un nez plutĂŽt calme mais les arĂŽmes sont lĂ , au dĂ©but du fumĂ©, beaucoup de bois et du goudron. Puis les fruits, surtout de l’ananas, transparaissent. L’entrĂ©e de bouche est Ă©tonnamment douce au vu de l’ABV au-dessus de 60%, un peu fermĂ©e au dĂ©but, puis tout s’ouvre. TrĂšs fruitĂ© pour un 1997 et, surtout, l’atelier mĂ©canique ne prend jamais le dessus. La finale est longue Ă  souhait, marquĂ©e par le goudron, riche, Ă©quilibrĂ©e. Un trĂšs beau reprĂ©sentant du millĂ©sime."

    "Nice chocolate and mild nose is in contrast with a heavy taste with leather notes. Definitely for advanced audience."
