A flagon opened for my birthday. An antique nose of old varnished wood, old leather, black banana, ripe prickly pear, smokiness and a bitterness reminiscent of quinine. The palate is soft, then the aromas become more powerful. The same as on the nose, but not in the same order. You need to keep it in the mouth for a minute to really explore its potential. The finish is long, elegant and bitter. The empty glass is incredibly rich and deep, and surprisingly fruity. How do you judge a historic rum? With these flagons, you don't know what to expect. It's an excellent surprise here. It's comparable to Black Tot's Last Consigment, but more airy yet extremely solid. A real favorite! But am I being objective?
A true piece of rum history that Philippe has unearthed for us. The nose is extremely fragrant and harmonious: fruit dominates in the form of eau de vie, prune, exotic fruit (banana) and red fruit (cherry). The slightly varnished woodiness is completely melted into the mass, with dark notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and licorice. Spices, caramel, Demerara sugar, roasted and smoky notes are counterbalanced by a kind of freshness that lingers in the glass. A true olfactory orgasm. On the palate, the rum reveals its origins, its richness and its wisdom. A magnificent dark, roasted bouquet of dark chocolate, coffee, tobacco, licorice and winter spices. The varnished woodiness is very noble, happily accompanying plums, prunes, caramel and Demerara sugar for a little sensuality on the palate. The profile is bitter but absolutely delicious, complex and balanced. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish may not be the longest and is rather timid, but it nevertheless retains all the elegance and accuracy of the profile, with its brown, fruity and dark, dry and sweet, savory and bitter character. A perfectly mastered and absolutely epic rum, which makes us understand why Tot was so highly prized by sailors - it's an experience in itself.
Un Rhum absolument incroyable mis en Flagon en septembre 1964 et la qualité est absolument incroyable. J’ai eu la chance de le goûter plusieurs fois et il faut absolument garder ce rhum au minimum en bouche et il va rester très longtemps collé à votre palais ! Une pure merveille
