The nose is not bad, even if a little straight. Mostly pineapple On the palate, on the other hand, it's more buttery, which is nice at first, it seems more interesting... But it quickly fades and the astringency is a little too strong. Not bad, but a few youthful flaws.
On The Rocks: On the nose strong pinapple and citrus fruit with underlying light wood. Taste reveals a pleasant burn with continued pineapple flavour with very mild spice. Finish is long with lingering pinapple and citrus. This reminds me very much of the Holmes Cay Mhoba release at a much better price point. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose it is very washed out with a mild citrus aroma. Taste has a more up front bitter citrus punch with a rapidly fading bitter finish. Not enjoyable mixed and is better as a sipper.
Much like Holme Cay
