Retaste this one and it's a very mild well rounded rum that I think can be used for beginners as well. Draws very nice curtains and the empty glass is full of flavours.
Nose is sweet and reminiscent of port or sherry which is a leading indicator of what is to come. The mouth is sweet and sickly, immediately too much and in to rum liquor territory. The main mouth notes are raisins and sugar with a medium finish with treacle and wine on the end of the mouth. Ultimately it is too sweet for me, it’s like a Madeira or Port with some rum elements and doesn’t quite come together in a package that I want to drink
8:On the nose... quite a lot. There's fruit: fresh grapes, banana, peaches, candied prunes and nuts, followed by almonds after a while. The barrel is there too, offering well-balanced oak and tobacco notes. Overall, it offers an interestingly dry, gourmand impression. 8:On the palate, we find tobacco and walnut, with candied fruit also present but a little in the background. The whole is soft, but well-balanced with alcohol. 8:The finish is long. The aromas of tobacco, walnuts, prunes and oak, which we enjoyed earlier, are again present.
The base in this rum is a 5yo blend from Guyana and Barbados aged in the Caribbean. I’ve tasted this blend and clearly recognize Demerara. After that it’s aged for 3 Solera years in Spain in Dos Cortados Sherry (very dry) barrels. Thereafter it’s aged for 2 more Solera years in former PX Sherry (very sweet) barrels. Have also read that they add a little PX Sherry (unconfirmed). These two years and the eventual added flavors give it an significant sweet Sherry taste that I don’t appreciate.
