What DINGUERIE again from Old Brothers, these guys have a nose for Jamaica. It's really an incredible product, pineapple caramel salted butter, light woodiness, and lots of ester glue funk, it's really ultra gourmand and deep. Extraordinary.
Bête de rhum. Ayant le palais formaté à l'agricole je suis plis difficile avec la mélasse mais celui la m'a vraiment bluffé. A regouter sobre 2eme degust : un très beau hampden équilibre avec juste ce qu'il faut d'exuberance. Toujours l'ananas sur mur avec pas mal de fruits murs voir de l'arlequin, un boisé et un fumé très fin qui en fait un rhum très équilibre tout en gardant son caractère
Probably one of the best Old Brothers bottlings to date. An absolutely sumptuous nose with typical Jamaican aromas, a mix of ripe tropical fruit, solvents, butter and other phenolic aromas that blend harmoniously and masterfully. The 60% are not perceptible at all on the palate, the attack being very fruity, with notes of red fruit on the finish, for a complex, intense and very round delight. The finish is just as pleasant, with saline and menthol notes and a feeling of glue on the teeth. A real treat.
one would like to shout to OB: there you go! Again significantly better than the HJF 2002, and almost on the level of the Plantation HJF 2002, which I poured as a reference in the other glass. The OB comes a little more over the ester rail and with varnish, with the Plantation I still have a little more complexity, somehow towards Christmas spices (candied orange peel, cinnamon stick). On the palate, the OB also knows how to convince, the 60.8% is well integrated, however, the 70.3% is really hammered in the Plantation. So the OB does not quite come up to the Plantation HJF 2002, but still top level!
