Le nez nous fait penser a des caractéristiques de ron (sans le sûr plus de sucre), beurré, fruité (Coco / Banane / Fruits rouge /Européens) tout ca avec une impression de chimique un peu épais (Guimauves /Mielleux). La bouche est remplie des mêmes fruits qu'au nez toujours avec une impression de chimique industrielle, elle est aussi caramélisée, vanillé, chocolaté et légèrement mielleuse. La final s'estompe sur quelques fruits caramélisées, de la vanille et un léger boisé (Toasté) toujours avec ce côté chimique. Intéressant et atypique (pas forcément du bon sens). Un peu trop mielleux et final malheureusement assez légère, on dirait que les watts sont de trop pour la faible puissance aromatique...
A true Australian behemoth, this rum needs time to open up and fully reveal itself. The nose is lively with tobacco, leather and spices (pimento, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla), but then shows a much softer side, first on caramelized notes (brown sugar, toffee), then on fruit (grapes, apple, pear, coconut, dried fruit). You'd think the alcohol would dominate, but not so much in the end. The attack on the palate is sharp and intense. However, the aromas that emerge are rather unusual: apple is reminiscent of calvados, while grapes are reminiscent of armagnac. Citrus fruits add acidity, while coconut and caramel add a touch of sweetness to the taste fire. Spices and roasted wood give a dry aftertaste, as if charred by the passage of the juice. The alcohol is not badly integrated, but watch out for the sting on the palate. The finish is warm, lifted by spices and brandy notes. Citrus, dried fruit, cherry, apple and grape give a slightly fruity finish that softens the whole. This is a rum with substance, which requires patience and a little experience to tame and appreciate to the full.
Très surprenant ! Le nez fait directement penser a un savon, quelque chose de très synthétique, puis lorsqu'on le goûte on a droit dans sa continuité à une salade de fruit européenne qui nous porte à des notes douce et beurrés, voir sur des notes d'armagnac et de calvados. Un rhum vraiment très intéressant mais qui ne refléte pas forcément ce que l'on en attend.
27.02.2021 A nice blind tasting in a friend's home. Bottles covered in tin foil and only numbers to match up the glass with the bottle. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, light wood, fruity, berries, spice, light cherry, faint marzipan. Palate Intense, spicy, light wood, faint smoke, light marzipan, fruity, berries, light cherry. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, fruity, vanilla, faint chocolate, berries. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to release all of its flavours.
