How does this rum taste?
The Spirit of Art" from Nicaragua is an exclusive rum from Valinch & Mallet. Distilled in 1998 from molasses with a Column Still, it boasts a robust ABV of 57.1%, aged for 25 years. It's noted for a multifaceted aroma of coffee, vanilla, and floral hints, while the palate reveals roasted and woody flavors. Its whisky-like profile might appeal to whisky enthusiasts but has an unexpected alcohol bite. Despite limited production of only 188 bottles, its reception varies; it has complexity but hasn't wowed all. Nonetheless, it's a unique representative of Nicaraguan rum craftsmanship.

Delicious! Loved it!
Tried this rum at whisky live Paris and loved it.To me it has a a very whisky profile. In a blind taste I wouldn't guess it is a rum, but I am a newbie into rum world. Mild sweet at first and a bit bitter at the end with woody notes, olives praline. Very nice to me on the nose, palate and ending.
A really heavy relying on the spices nose, some apple brandy and dry wood. surpringly toned down sweetness on the palate and a lot of cask wood flavours. The cask overwhelms at the end, but not the train wreck one could get.
Lots of column, little taste.
