    25.05.2019 Sitting at home enjoying some nice samples. Notes Light in colour. Nose Intense, ester, fruity, banana, overripe, light mineral, vanilla, light roasted wood,. Palate Round, spicy, medium dry, fruity, banana, ester, light caramel. Finish Medium long, fruity, warm, light caramel.

    I tried this a few times over the years. As I grew to better understand what was meant by a Jamaican funk, I enjoyed it more. It’s still a bit strong, but mixes well.

    Banana and ester without going into candy land.

    Déçu par ce rhum. Peut être en cocktails, pour faire ressortir ses effluves. Le 40% est très intense en première bouche mais manque le pep’s d’un jamaïquain. La longueur en bouche est quasi nulle. Le prix va avec le produit. Plutôt basic voir très basic.
