Enjoyable with Coke
4,9:Right from the start, the nose reveals a fairly frank alcohol that evaporates and doesn't return. What follows is a great wave of vanilla mixed with sweet spices. This vanilla is extremely present, sweetened and coated like a candy. The indulgence continues with a little milk chocolate. It's very light in flavor, simple but not unpleasant when you love vanilla!On aeration, guess who steals the show once again? More vanilla, for an even sweeter sensation. The candy aspect is now reminiscent of a large packet of marshmallows. The sweet spices are still present, represented by cinnamon. The longer you wait, the more the vanilla fades in favor of sugar, but this rum isn't meant to wait in a glass, as it's more of a cocktail product. 5,5:On the palate, as you'd expect, it's round and very light. A hint of caramel precedes the avalanche of vanilla and marshmallows. The palate, too, is very simple. 4,5:The finish is short, with vanilla, sweetness and a drying finish..
Good for making cocktails. Smooth impractical!
A low-end, over-spiced rum. It's undrinkable neat and made especially for cocktails, but even then its spicy taste takes over too much. For the same price, it's better to choose a Cuban rum that won't distort the cocktail.
