On aeration, the wood is a bit roasted, the new notes are a plum, lemon peel and flowery, as Kentucky finish brings malty feeling. 8:On the palate, the attack is spicy and fruity with overripe, for a moment even rotten, tropical fruits like mango, banana, pineapple, there are quickly some dried fruits like figs, apricots. The molasses is vegetal with the olive, hay, bitter with waxy, rubber notes, that makes the rum less round..The wood is spicy with pepper, clove, roasted with caramel, there is a pinch of a salt, malty taste from Kentucky barrel finish.After resting, an interesting Bazooka bubble-gum note arises. 7,8:The finish is long, dry, less pleasant, round with strong bitterness, tannins, some nuts, fruits balance our tasting, the rum becomes earthy.
