Youthful, but still interesting. The nose opens with notes of leather, caramel, prunes, and brioche, with a nice touch of pear and a faint hint of grated oxidized apple. I definitely picked up some estery notes too. On the palate, there's a distinct mix of young wood, apple, caramel, and oak, balanced with a light tannic structure that rounds it off. The finish is medium in length, with roasted coffee, caramel, dried fruit, and some bourbon-like woodiness coming through. You can definitely tell this rum is still relatively young, but it compensates for that with its vibrant and well-rounded flavor profile. The almost animalish leather and dried plum notes are a standout, giving it a unique character. It may not have the depth nor smoothness of a longer-aged rum, but it still packs a punch and offers something intriguing for those who enjoy youthful rums with their personality not yet tamed.
