Tastes like neutral alcohol. Surprisingly bad!
For the nose, re-test without a cold. The taste is a great success. The alcohol is clearly present, but the sweet fruit and coconut take up more and more space, as do the spices. This sensation becomes more pronounced with aeration. No real length, which is a pity. But it's rather pleasant. Edit: alcohol a little too present for an early line-up.
This really does nothing for me. flat and rather uninteresting. The alcohol really is unbalanced and coming at this price point i expected more. the West Indies, especially the french ones know how to make this work...
It's well made. Round. A little dry over the length. You can feel the WI more than the 10% Fs (and that's normal because it's 90%).
