Nice daily sipper. Influence of the maple syrup cask is a nice touch actually for me.
On the nose, there's no doubt that it smells of syrup (blindly, I even thought it was a test of maceration on Sirop de Liège). It's ultra-dominant, heading for Justin Trudeau territory and the Rocky Mountains ... but digging deeper, we find fruitiness (banana-tropical fruit) and rather expressive aromas (Funky). On the palate, it feels like a herbaceous maple-syrup candy you'd suck on while watching a field hockey game on a frozen Quebec lake. As a result, it's very sweet, but with some hints of Jamaican, with overripe fruit, lemon, molasses and a little funk. The finish is long on wood and vanilla, but somewhat nauseating. I have to admit I'm not too keen on this finish, which is too sweet for my palate.
Reminds me a lot of the Wagemut Special Edition 2023 due to the already dominant walnut note, although the alcohol is less well integrated here. The sweetness makes it drinkable. The base is probably not very good. Very one-dimensional overall.
The finish is of course extremely strong here. I have no experience of how "wet" a maple syrup cask should be - but in terms of taste, a good portion of syrup has probably ended up in the rum. An interesting experiment. I draw a comparison with the 70s Woods, as Demerara rum also has very strong notes of maple syrup - but the Woods retains much more of the classic Guyana character and impresses with a more complex overall picture. Very accessible rum, but unfortunately it also quickly becomes a little tiring because the sweetness is very present and the profile is too one-dimensional and also a little too unbalanced for me.
