     St. Lucia World Cup Tasting Ersteinmal zurückhaltend aber nicht unkomplex, im vergleich zu den tropischen irgendwie eher was man als kontinental erwarten würde? Angenehm aber schon deutlich trockener Hier ist eine bittere und trockene note die wir bisher bei St Lucia nicht gesehen haben. Andererseits auch selten reiner JD2.

     In my opinion a mix between long pond teca 2003 and the white river antoine!A really particular rum where you go from fermented and acrid parts to a moldy part to a sour fruit!From the background a charred feeling not annoying!Not for everyone but I like it very much!

     Un nez de colle et de solvants, puis des fruits pas très mûrs. Des fruits jaunes et tropicaux, mangue, pêche, alcool de prune japonais. Du bois de cèdre et une certaine douceur, de l’iode marin. De la douceur en début de bouche, du bois de cèdre (boîte à cigares), de la pêche et d’autres fruits en arrière-plan. La finale est longue, sur les fruits et le bois de cèdre, élégante jusqu’à la toute fin. Un rhum qui demande de l’attention, il est en effet bien plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît à la première dégustation. L’iode marin est surprenant, tout à la fin.
