    A good rum, well balanced!

    8:On the nose, at first we get roasted and woody notes with burnt sugar, caramelized, buttery,cookie, solvents, roasted nuts, mocha, the wood is toasted and resinous. Aeration brings leather and tobacco, then more fruity side of this rum with dried fruits, peaches, prunes and its dryness.So, complex and well balanced. 8,2:On the palate, syrupy tropical fruits burst out intensively with spiciness, nutmeg.When it calms down, the wood is toasted, fruits are bourbon yellow-peaches, with honey, dried apricots and dates, the rum becomes dry and more roasted with burnt sugar, caramelized, is charred and dark, chocolatey, leathery, becoming even metallic.Later a bit acidic with citruses, lemon peel. Tasty and round. 8:The finish is long, filled with honey, dry with tropical, dried fruits, roasted nuts, toasted wood and citrusy. Some mineral notes come later...

    Woody, smokey, caramell and fruity. Goes weel, the finish is a bit hard

    A good Cuban, but somewhat meaningless and flat.
