I wouldn't say this is a watered down rum, but it's extremely well balanced and well rounded and in a tasting this should take spot one. Fruity and nice wood well balanced with spices. The alcohol is barely noticed.
Great complexity. As usual for the Flibuste bottlings with a rich sweetness full of vanilla sugar, chocolate and hazelnut. In addition, pointed spicy aromas, wood influence, opulent fruit notes of cherry and dried fruit; a great compote of multi-layered, yet harmonious flavors, which has a lot of sweetness. Delicious!
Auto-translatedIt's round, it's good. I like it a lot.
Auto-translatedAroma: grassy, hay, leather, rubbery. No alcohol buzz. The nose is grassy, and in the second glass, the sourness of the plum among the nuts is felt. A green fruit decoction. Complexity. There are some esters, but the grassy flavors overpower them. The aroma explodes in a way that belies the 40 proof. Taste: Same as in the aroma: hay, grass, leather, etc. It's complex, but clean and neat. Good balance, except for the lack of intensity. Very slightly sweet. The finish is funky. The oak is buried in the other flavors and there's a hint of green grapes. My friend who shared it with me detected a hint of green juice. Mouthfeel: Very smooth, almost as if there is no alcohol. The tropical fruit comes through only at the end. The flavor is consistent with the aroma and taste, and follows cleanly through the finish. The grassy finish is very long. It is dry, tannic, salivating, and has a sweet nuance.
