Le flacon est glamour. Ce rhum me fait bien voyager à la Réunion avec des odeurs et goût de cette île. On y retrouve des épices, du fruité le boisé exotique, du floral , la vanille fumée et du masse pain.une finale plutôt douce et florale avec un côté violette. Ce rhum traditionnel change des highs Esters assez prisé des amateurs de Savanna.
#4899 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, light marzipan, plum, light pear, faint floral. Palate Round, light wood, faint roasted, light plum, faint marzipan, light floral, faint pineapple, light vegetal. Finish Medium long, light wood, medium dry, light spicy, fruits, light pineapple, faint tobacco. Pretty nice bottling but nothing spectacular.
I like it very much! I don't really believe in traditional. It tastes more like a Grand Arome with nice fruity gummy bear/high ester notes. Beautifully complex!
Překvapení, netradiční ale o to plnější chuť. Madicinální a ořískové tóny, těžké koření. Tohle je rum na celovečerní pití.
