"#4517 09.12.2023 This is also a nice and fresh release. Medium fruity with nice floral notes. I love the might smoke in the profile. The finish is medium long and warming. The empty glass has a light perfume note."
"A good, unaged clairin, offering an interesting combination on the nose between vegetal and herbaceous notes (earth, aromatic herbs, especially basil, vegetables) and more meaty, smoky aromas reminiscent of Bolognese sauce with its meat and a touch of spice (paprika). There's a slightly medicinal, fermented framework that forms a rather coherent and original whole. The attack on the palate is fat, thick and unctuous, but more vegetal and grassy, less extravagant but just as intense, with the same sensation of spicy Bolognese sauce, fermented sugarcane and medicinal notes grafted onto a very green, earthy profile. The citrus fruits manage to find their way onto the palate to give roundness. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is relatively short. Although it loses longevity, the intensity remains intact, with herbaceousness, sugarcane, citrus and spicy touches. A very pleasant clairin with a zany but attractive profile."
"The usual framework of clairins with the combo of ripe fruit with smoky (+++ on this one) and buttery notes, but with a slightly "dirtier" nose, like a musty smell. Once opened, there's more spice and I realize that this musty smell is in fact a sapodilla smell that I can't get rid of. There's also ripe papaya. On the palate, the smokiness is very (too?) present and there's even a touch of rubber."
"Absolutely exceptional, delivers a flavour bomb! You can taste the respect for the base ingredient and the love and craft that have gone into its production. A wonderful exception to all the over-adulterated, samey rums out there. I'm blown away by it."
