Sweet, fresh, interesting. Spent 1 year I moscatel cask which is rare. Good balance between freshness and aged rum.
This rum is pretty light, alcoholic on the nose. It is peppery on the palate with hints of young wood and moscatel finishing. What I don’t like abut this rum is that it’s pretty harsh. Surprisingly, it benefits from adding some sugar. I tried dosing it between 10 and 20 g/l and somewhere around 15 g/l it really shines: the moscatel finishing comes forward and harshness is masked. For the same reason it is good in Rum Old Fashioned.
Also a normal average rum. Not particularly good, but not really bad either. Can also be enjoyed neat. Tastes slightly alcoholic, but I like that :) So maybe not for gourmets, but otherwise okay.
Very light on the nose. There's not much going on here, but the muscatel barrel is noticeable. This gives it a very pleasant sweetness that works surprisingly well with the clear pepper note. A hint of grappa and a gentle, even pleasant spiciness on the finish - but mild and not alcoholic. I'm very surprised here. Very, very boring nose, but then the taste is quite unique - it should be dull, but I really like it. A very unusual combination. Addendum: unfortunately extremely flat after a few hits. Ouch...
