    Superb tasting. An excellent rum. On the nose, you can smell the wood and the calvados barrel. It's closer to a typical French spirit. On the palate, superb, the 62° goes down well with a note of apple. Very long finish. If you get the chance to taste it, don't hesitate!

    Nez élégant mais suffisamment intense, sur une combinaison de fruits (pomme, pomme cannelle, carambole) et de boisé maîtrisé. De la fraîcheur végétale sur de la menthe au pilon. Des esters légers. Un léger vernis apporté par le boisé. C'est aussi gourmand sur du caramel mou, de la vanille fraîche en gousse, de la cannelle. Une bouche tout aussi fruitée sur tous les aspects de la pomme (pomme d'amour, pomme bonbon, pomme caramélisée, pomme acidulée). Le fût de calvados est maîtrisée. La bouche est mélassée à souhait et contient (avec parcimonie) quelques aspects des Grands Arômes. Bonbons arlequins. Des épices vives presque sur du piment d'Espelette. Encore ces esters qui structurent la finale. La bouche se termine sur un joli chocolat noir 60-70%. Les esters se retrouvent jusqu'au verre vide qui dégage un léger voile vinaigré et saumuré. L'alcool est parfaitement intégré, jamais j'aurais trouvé les 62%. 5-7% de moins. C'est une des forces de cet UC. Une très belle surprise ce traditionnel. Fruité mais aussi légèrement esterisé, extrême buvabilité, sans manquer de complexité, un des UC qui se démarque des autres depuis ces deux dernières années. Note: pour plus de cohérence, passe de 88 à 87 dans ma notation par rapport aux derniers Savanna GA dégustés. Mais toujours un excellent Dram de tous les jours, extrêmement buvable et suffisamment complexe.

    Degusté au Spirits Days à Tournai, notes rapides : Nez : ester, frais, pomme, petite menthe Bouche : pomme, épices, équilibré, un peu d'ananas Bref : l'un des tops du salon ! super équilibré et plaisant, moins sec que certains autre unshared. Peut être mon préféré jusqu'ici (j'en ai pas gouté 20 non plus...)

    Tres joli rhum, probablement le meilleur de cette série unshared. Difficile de dire à l’aveugle que c’est un Finish calva mais il apporte une acidité très sympa qui soutient le propos. Intégration parfaite. Complex, tellement que c’est difficile d’identifier des arômes en particulier mais fruit à chaire blanche et jaune. Poire pas forcément mûr mirabelle au four, beaucoup d’épice, un peu de camphre. Très bon
