    An almost perfect nose! The fact that this rum was diluted is a disaster... Otherwise it would probably have been the perfect rum.

    I was able to enjoy this wine. It's amazing! Complex and perfectly balanced, full of character. Notes of caramel and syrup provide sufficient restrained sweetness. Maple syrup and resin can be tasted in the finish. Dried fruit, raisins and dates are then noticeable. The rum smells wonderfully of fresh coffee and apricot. It's great that I was allowed to try such a rarity. It cost me a fortune, but it was worth it.
