    24.10.2020 Lovely tasting arranged by one of my suppliers of rum. Notes Very dark in colour. Nose Medium intense, wood, cinnamon, plum, light chocolate, faint leather. Palate Oily, balanced, complex, wood, tannins, light roasted, faint smoke, plum, light citrus, faint chocolate, raisin. Finish Medium to long, wood, dried fruit, faint chocolate, roasted, faint smoke.

    I had the privilege of tasting this historic rum thanks to Jimmy owner of Aguardiente a small place with an incredible atmosphere where you can sit at a table and choose from the 1300 bottles of rum on display. Definitely this rum is an experience to try at least once in a lifetime! Personally I was a little disappointed because for its history and price I was expecting more!

    Fluid story... Eerily complex, heavy and yet elegant. A delight.
