    I sensed nuances that I was not expecting. On the nose very light esters and vegetal notes (olive?) and as in the flavor a scent of stone pine (balsamic note) which is used to flavor Italian grappas. In the mouth it is dry and slightly toasted with notes of chocolate. Finish not too long and ending with lychee (grape).A great rum full of aromas that in a tasting will greatly entertain.

    This is a rum that needs to rest for a while or the alcohol will bite and kind of destroy the experience. Once rested the nose is fruity with varnish and anise. There is a very light smoky note once rested. The palate is warm and lightly dry with fruit, varnish, anise and a bit more smoke than on the nose. The finish is long and warm with dried fruit and smoky wood.

    Dieser ungefärbte Rum aus der Versailles-Still kommt vor allem im Mund überraschend frisch und pflanzlich rüber, mit grüner Banane, Kräutern wie Petersilie und Kerbel und einem Hauch Olive, bevor im Abgang das Röstkommando mit einem Anflug von Holzrauch übernimmt. Den Whisky-Einfluss empfinde ich hier nicht als störend, aber ab und zu sticht eine gewisse alkoholische Schärfe durch, welche für kleine Abzüge sorgt. Ansonsten richtig gut!

    Most concise, in addition to a beautifully fruity flavor, are intense varnish and roasted/woody aromas in the finish at the same time.
