Noted for its vegetal aroma alongside hints of nail polish, lemon, and solvents, this rum offers a unique taste experience.

Dégusté à l aveugle. Le nez me fait penser à un agricole avec un doux parfum de canne, c est rond agréable fruité de poire mûre et une petite touche co.combre, j imagine même une fermentation un peu plus longue .la bouche est plus sur des éléments, du végétal, minéral et Iodé. J ai la sensation d' une proximité maritime.
Not bad, just nothing exciting to be found here
Barbosa, M&G, Vulcao in comparison... Nose: vegetal, fermented and slightly vinegar, a little more lemon than the other two. Again sauerkraut and cucumber. Nose closer to the M&G, very light caramel note and slightly resinous. Palate: similar to the M&G, superficially sour, slightly salty and resinous. Artificially planty and herbal. A somewhat unpleasant lemon balm and toilet stone mixture. Unfortunately, I don't really like it either. Of the three, the Barbosa is the most pleasing.
Difficile de trouver des arômes à ce rhum tellement les solvants et l’odeur de vernis à ongle est important. La bouche s’ouvre plus sur la canne à sucre et les épices mais le goût du solvant persiste, pareil pour la fin de bouche.
