Who would guess Salvador IB blinded tasting? I don’t.. was thinking about Barbados, Jamaica or Guayana… The color is quite light yellow..golden..simply not dark. The smell - interesting mixture of sweet, woody and sometimes esters- like nail polish or glue. The taste - intense, alcoholic, but after resting in a glass for a while, sweet cocoa or coffee and wood appears. For me personally I would prefer less % at about 45-50 with keeping the same taste - I would buy it again and again..

Twdy on Salvador surprised me. I wouldn't have pegged him at all.
Such a smaller brother of Foursquare - pleasant smell and taste, chocolate, wood, dried fruit. Fine rum.
