6,2:The first nose releases some fairly dry alcoholic aromas. The wood is strongly toasted, releasing notes of well-roasted nuts, chocolate note. A pass of solvent loosens the vanilla from the wood, then reveals a fruity, sweet and tangy character. Caramel and vanilla are accompanied by a very ethereal white floral side. The rum needs time to open, it washes away the alcohol notes and the rum will remain on dry notes of strongly toasted wood and roasted nuts. The dry, vegetal notes evoke walnut blossom, while the woody notes lighten up a little. 7:On the palate, the contrast is quite astonishing, as the rum is now very sweet. Toasted wood and roasted nuts are balanced by this sweetness. Walnuts and hazelnuts are tinged with a burnt, almost tarry touch. The rum is then fluid and light, with hints of tobacco, coconut, red fruit. 6:On the finish, the rum dries out and hooks the taste buds, bringing walnut out and is pretty short. Well, this rum could be easily skipped. 18 is more rounded and sippable..
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Woody, caramel, vanilla on repeat. The same notes you get on the nose carry to the palate and to the finish. Nothings stands out about this rum, but nothing is bad about this rum. It is a well rounded taste that would make a good base for a cocktail where you just want a basic molasses rum flavor.
Very delicious, woody and lots of spices, hints of vanilla, delicious
