Wild, minty French Antilles funk

Another funky one from the French Antilles. Opulent, aromatic, smooth at this ABV. Load of iodine notes, a balanced smokeyness. Some funky fruits, medicinal and a hefty dose of aromatics and menthol deepness.
Another excellent Grand Arome from Galion! I really like the profile! Super nice fruit paired with marzipan.
My first experience with Grand Arome rum and i love it. On nose there is lots of overripe fruits, and rotten notes. Musty and meaty notes. Little bit of technical notes The palate consists of overripe fruits, solvents and iodine. Little bit musty and meaty, maybe a little rotten. It'a followed by mint and hay. Finish is warm medium to long with mint, tannis, tropical fruit and iodine. Actually I can't compare with another Grand Arome bottle since this is my first encounter. But to me it's an awesome bottle. I would rate this bottle over 9 if the finish were just a little longer.
