    Merci RumX pour cette incroyable opportunité ! L’absolu a clairement dépassé mes attentes et il est parfaitement dans mes goûts. Beaucoup de fruits, notamment des fruits rouges, mais également un côté cognac, et une finale relevée par de la menthe, du poivre, et des tanins. La finale est un poil trop courte pour passer les 9, mais c’est un vrai coup de cœur. ❤️

    First tasting was at the Whisky Live 2023 and I love it ! Very special metalic & industrial Savanna 😋 with liquorice, fruity, varnish and eter. This is the kind of rum Love or Hate !

    Nice on the nose providing complexity with lot of notes to discover. There is a distinct buttery sensation to it. Very nice. Very high intensity and complexity on the palate. All individual components of the blend add some distinct impacts making for a deep and rich profile.

    A nice conclusion to this Savanna Masterclass. L'Absolu certainly has more to offer than the average rum. The nose and palate are beautifully spicy, woody and smoky. A nice end to this masterclass. Thank you Oliver and Sam for this opportunity :-)
