    Nonostante non abbia una gradazione elevata ha un intensità e persistenza notevoli! Avrei dato un punteggio maggiore ma ha una parte amara un po’ troppo invadente per i miei gusti!

    This was also a nice rum though not one with a bang. I guess a higher ABV would have suite this one a bit better. Fruity with nice spices and overall good balance between the elements. I made a note that the empty glass had a stronger roasted note almost like burnt as well as a mix of pastries.

    I am confused. There is lots of Martinique in the smell, but pure Guayana in taste. Unfortunately with 46% is the taste pretty weak
