A very nice rum with a light touch of smoke to it. Very well balanced.

Schönes Esterpotpourri an der Nase. Früchte wie Banane und Birne aber auch deutliche Lack- und Klebstoffnoten. Holz ebenso. Alkoholischer Auftakt, schnell kräftige Holzwürze und danach Fruchtnoten von Ananas und Kirschen. Dann taucht Schokolade auf und mit zunehmender Zeit wird es bitter und salzig. Im Abgang dann Gummi, Honig und Verbranntes. Wahnsinn, dieser Hochesterrum ist komplex und unternimmt Stück für Stück eine vielschichtige Aromenreise mit dir.
