How does this rum taste?

The Spirit of Art" Nicaraguan rum emanates an olives-praline aroma with a mild sweet start and woody, slightly bitter end. A fruity, floral touch with notes of caramel and leather. Despite some finding it reminiscent of its younger version, its strength and column still profile stands out, though some find an earthy note slightly off-putting.

“#4123 This one was also a bit disappointing. Lightly fruity with a floral touch and some berries. The palate is oily and it draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some caramel, leather and a hint of chocolate. I'd say that this set has failed and it's probably the last one I'm buying 🤔”

“Beautiful nose, with a more classic Nicaraguan profile on the palate and a somewhat disturbing earthy, musty note. Solid.”

“The taste is not so different from a standard 12yo, just a bit stronger, which is positive, but when sipping an unpleasant alcohol bite is there resembling the cheaper version. Still better than usual releases, but not interesting nor better than other FDC from IB”
