Wow, what a slap in the face! The nose is quite linear but very fruity and almost smoky. On the palate, it's an uppercut! Stunned by the fruit, the tea, the menthol, for me lots of mango and peach, A beautiful finish that never ends, hats off to you!
Impressionnant. Un TDL d'une complexité impressionnante, il y a de tout, c'est un régal ! Une salade de fruit, avec des notes sombres et de la gourmandise par dessus... Bref, une masterclass.
A very empyreumatic rum right from the nose, which is rather rare. Vegetal notes on the palate. Lots of power and richness. Good length. Excellent.
Das tolle Design von Vagabond ist kein Blender. Dieser Rum ist sehr geil! Menthol, Früchte aller Art, Holz, gebrannter Zucker, Gewürze... sehr komplex und bekanntlich kommt das Beste zum Schluß: Ein herausragender Abgang! Wow, der hat Power und ist komplex.
