Jour 7 du calendrier Samples de luxe. Un nez de Caroni au premier abord, mais les fruits tropicaux prennent le relais avec un chocolat noir. Que c’est bon ! Un jardin tropical en bouche avec même des fruits comme la cerise. Des fruits bien mûrs. Et juste à côté une pâtissière bien achalandée et le pâtissier n’a pas lésiné sur la vanille. Un rhum avec tout ! Très équilibré mais peut-être un peu trop dilué. Le verre vide apporte un côté fumé et de Porto rouge masqués jusqu’alors. Je baisse un peu la note après avoir goûté le Plenipotenzario, l’ABV plus élevé fait toute la différence.

This cask matured in port casks is slightly better than the first release and I would have liked an extra bottle for my shelf. The nose is typical Barbadian with fruits and vanilla topped with chocolate and oak. The palate is more complex compared to the first release and once rested full of flavours. Sweet, fruity and spices in a balanced mix followed by cocoa and oak. The finish is medium long and sweet/fruity with added vanilla and oak.

Bought a bottle on the basis of a favorable whiskyfun review (paid around 30€). I remember being disappointed by the screw top (no cork) but pleasantly surprised by the rum. The 40% didnt feel watered doen or diluted. The port maturation made the rum quite sweet without being cloying. Should have bought additional bottles when I had the chance.

Rhum rond, gourmand. Belles notes d’épices pâtissière, vanille, un peu de bois, des beaux fruits jaunes, pêches. Aussi bien au nez qu’en bouche pas de surprise un rhum typique Barbades.
