    Un rhum dégusté au Spirits Museum. Un nez plutôt calme mais les arômes sont là, au début du fumé, beaucoup de bois et du goudron. Puis les fruits, surtout de l’ananas, transparaissent. L’entrée de bouche est étonnamment douce au vu de l’ABV au-dessus de 60%, un peu fermée au début, puis tout s’ouvre. Très fruité pour un 1997 et, surtout, l’atelier mécanique ne prend jamais le dessus. La finale est longue à souhait, marquée par le goudron, riche, équilibrée. Un très beau représentant du millésime.

    A lot of smoke, few Caroni left

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

    Korenene, drevite tony, spolu s medicinskymi chutemi. Kratsi, ale prijemny zaver.
