8:On the nose of this rum first impression goes towards the acidity that penetrates first, with fresh but fleshy fruits, a little burst, with a protruding core. Despite a body that we guess is rather light, the rum seduces relentlessly, tirelessly. It is therefore a feeling of concentration that we also perceive quite quickly, with a gently spicy spring honey and an elegant woodiness. As with a perfume, the nose evolves with the air and time. This comparison is not innocent because the rum gains in elegance and refinement. The fruits are certainly quite pushy, but they have been carefully chosen and are presented in a fine tobacco case. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is as with Barbados rums, we can count on a melted and tasty woodiness, with caramel, vanilla and tobacco that spread generously. This mouth does not lack softness, even if we do not feel any sweet sensation. We could rather speak of something honeyed, even a little milky, like an egg custard. The mid-palate raises the level a notch with a handful of well-melted spices that now enhance a more frankly woody rum, with accents of stone fruits in brandy, as the rum is quite strongly dry. 7,8:The finish maintains the complexity and elegance, the palate notes linger on, enveloping everything and closing the experience with a lovely peppery veil..
