Al naso è intrigante con zucchero bruciato, legno, datteri, vaniglia e nocciole. Al palato è secco e legnoso con tabacco e un finale di datteri dolci e vaniglia tostata, nel retrogusto pelle e legno secco/tostato. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno e stagionati. È un agricolo semplice senza troppa profondità, ma io adoro particolarmente questa secchezza legnosa che lo avvolge e che permane a lungo. Oscilla tra 8.8 e 9 Oggettivamente è un 8 o meno
Hardy from the house of Saint James. A rarity in Germany. Hardy is an independent bottler from the island of Martinique. A very complex rhum, rather something for connoisseurs. The rhum needs some time but the finish is long and intense. I'm looking forward to the second glass 🥃.
Étonnamment rond pour un agricole, il a un nez boisé qui tend un peu vers le cuir et la vanille. En bouche, c'est la datte et le pruneau qui s'installent avant de laisser un peu de place au chêne et a la vanille.
fruits, fruits sec fruits cuits, une salade de fruits vanillés, dominance pomme et pruneau, quasi aucun alcool et un bois très legé!! 👄 toujours des fruits, avec légère astringence d’un boisé grillé et torréfié, alcool très doux, longueur courte
