    How does this rum taste?

    The "Nicaragua" by Famille Ricci is a 22-year-old rum distilled in Nicaragua from molasses using a column still, boasting a substantial 60.4% ABV. It's praised for its rich woody, vanilla, and dark chocolate aromas, while the palate delights with praline, woody, and cherry nuances. Despite its appealing dessert-like profile, the rum's integration of alcohol is mixed, with some finding it a bit harsh. While loved for its non-sweetened authenticity, and noted for medium to long finishes, opinions on complexity and price vary. Overall, it delivers a warm and indulgent rum experience ideal for dessert pairing.

    Nez gourmand, frais, mentholé,caramélisé, sur les fruits confits Bouche torréfiée, toastée, boisée.des épices poivrées, les fruits confits pêche banane, retour de lavande Finale longue sur les bonbons harlequin, torréfaction intense

    Visite chez Famille Ricci ! Rhum très gourmand, on boit de la barbe à papa ! Assez intense en bouche, longueur plutôt moyenne, arômes assez simples. Mais au final, agréable, on passe un bon moment.

    Un nicaragua sans edulcoration, c est bien meilleur ! Un nez très gourmand avec le chocolat au premier plan, puis un mélange coco vanille. En bouche c est très gourmand, un vrai dessert, toujours avec les même marqueurs et un alcool un peu piquant. C est chaud et rond. La finale est moyenne. Bravo M. Ricci pour ce beau travail de sélection.

    #4498 24.11.2023 The price is a bit steep compared to what you get (in my mind). Lightly fruity with nice pastries and nutty notes. The palate is fresh and has nice cherry notes. The finish is medium long, lightly dry with nice spices. The empty glass has some vanilla and light caramel.
