Fine, palatable easy sipper. More on the slightly woody side than the grassy side. I tasted a pleasant red wine finish where there is none, but that speaks for the rhum. Alcohol very well integrated. Another quality product from HSE, they simply deliver quality at a reliably consistent level with their many releases.
Beautiful, concentrated color! Very varnished nose, like new furniture wood varnish. But the nose evolves as it oxidizes. Finishes now on notes of butter, Breton shortbread. On the other hand, the palate is very whisky and remains whisky 🥃 !
Great XO! Alcohol very well integrated.
Hard to define on the nose at first, then a mixture of fresh fruit, wood and spices. Pepper on the tongue, rather toasty and woody on the palate, then the sugar cane comes through. Long finish, goes into the nose, the pepper remains but does not bite
