8:On the nose, the first impression we get is a mix of dried fruits like apricots, raisins, and honeyed banana, followed by gourmet caramel, toasted walnuts and just a hint of smoke before the sherry notes take over and dominate the profile, that is thick and sweet. When aired a bit, there is more wood, coffee comes out, the chocolate is milky. The sherry notes nicely round up our experience on the nose. 7,9:On the palate, the attack is sweet and fruity, as the dried fruits and caramel dominate, while a honey sweetness dominates the mid-palate. Sherry and a bit smoky, that is our second attack on the tasting buds, as the chocolate is creamy, prunes and other fruits delicious, but sweet, as the sherry is added extra to this ron, the wood charred, dry, a bit spicy... We could notice some menthol note inbetween... 7,5:The finish is medium, dry and woody, as the palate notes linger. A bit alcoholic in the end....
Too much infusion made it liquer for 100%
Very good complement for a night with friends, Habanos and grilled meat. Fruity, sweet and easy to drink, maybe that's why it was an excellent choice to counteract the cold weather in Uruguay. For beginners who like sweet rums to accompany meat, like me, totally recommended. Cheers! 🥃
I think this rum would be a success for beginners. as it is both light and sweet. Fruity with caramel and chocolate/cocoa notes. Light roasted wood notes on the palate. Price to quality is very good.
