#5465 08.07.2025 Running a few samples while watching a new series about murder on Max. Nose Medium intense, fruity, light wood, overripe, faint smoke, ester, light citrus, light nutts. Palate Round, fresh, medium intense, overripe, light oily, light wood, ester, fruity, light chocolate, light apple, light citrus. Finish Long and warm, light wood, ester, fruity, naturally sweet, light chocolate. Empty glass Chocolate, light caramel, light citrus, banana. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly.
A Caribbean fruit salad with strong esters. As soon as you open the bottle, you can smell the very dominant pineapple, with a slight hint of banana. On the palate, you get the full pineapple ester drone! Banana and a little caramel on the finish. The alcohol is well integrated despite the high ABV. Not without reason is this a multiple gold medal winner and a real PLV cracker for the price!
Very good value for money. This Jamaican blend is very well-balanced, and I think its short time in caroni casks rounded it out and gave it a salted butter caramel note. Otherwise, we find what characterizes some Jamaicans: lots of fruitiness and esters, but not too much. A guaranteed success!
Second-to-last rum tasted on the Swell stand at RhumFest Paris 2025. A funky, esterized Jamaican. Overripe fruit. Rather pungent alcohol. Good, even if unsurprising because of its déjà vu profile.
