Banana and ester without going into candy land.
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.
A bit disappointing... Very much like Veritas. Lots od marzipan. like Worthy Park more.
Un Jamaïcain avec un profil plutôt simple d'accès pour initier des novices. Le nez est très reconnaissable : esters et fruits bien mûrs. Mais le Monymusk vient arrondir le tout et confère de la gourmandise à ce rhum. Très léger car très réduit. Pas beaucoup de longueur. Mais ça reste à mon sens une jolie manière de découvrir les rhums jamaïcains. Edit: testé de nouveau et je baisse ma note car c'est quand même très effacé.
