NOSE: Very fruity; grilled pineapple, mango, papaya, cherry and perhaps sweet banana in the background. Almost equally prominent are the oily notes; fumes and even exhaust of kerosene and diesel. Again hints of smoky mescal. Great nose (90-91p) A little water opens it up; fruitier, less mineral or oily, lifting my score just a notch. (91-92p) TASTE: Slightly more alcohol and pepper on the arrival, but nice concentration on the mid palate. Water really lifts it, opens it up, makes it more harmonious; fruity, nicely structured, mildly peppered, even a little oiliness. (90-91p) OVERALL: 91 points
Yes man, also a great rum from @SaibotZtar. Honestly mega tasty. Alcohol is super integrated, you can hardly feel it. Otherwise slightly fruity, mineral and yet very intense. But really delicious. Recommendation goes out:-)
Nose Vamos Muchachos! (Wait, seems wrong!) The first sniff throws you on a wild vegetable patch on a mexican farm. Wild agaves, raspberry, quinces, unripe corn, celery, goat cheese and wet goat skin. Also wet hay in autumn (fresh summer hay is different as everybody knows), maple syrup and indeed, some sweet potato notes. Really green, bold and surprisingly complex! With water: Much rounder and sweeter with heavy roasted barley and fresh baked german bread. What a sophisticated development, considering they didn't use any barley (we believe). Palate Such an explosion of green vegetables! Exactly the same expressions that we had on the nose, including one loose goat skin hair. Beside, it's very salty and herbal with bison grass and woodruff. The body is light and the texture is oily. With water: Becoming sweeter and even greener now, with an idea of aniseed brandy and chartreuse. This is so odd and entertaining. Finish Quite long actually, with white pepper and bitter lemons. But definitely no lemon juice, more on the peels side.
#4456 08.11.2023 This is a very fresh and intense release. Very fruity with some esters and Agricole and light mineral notes. The palate is oily and fresh and there is a very long and warm finish. Love the citrus in the profile. The empty glass has light vegetal notes.
