    Opulent fruit aromas paired with beautiful caramel sweetness. On the palate, vanilla and dark chocolate, spicy notes of green pepper and allspice, some roastiness, but with all this the high alcohol strength remains present. Nice selection, even if the bottling is to be classified as a very good classic rather than an absolute top candidate with outstanding peculiarities in the profile.

    Attaque puissante au début. Note de fruit tropicaux, banane flambée, boisé, ester

    18-19.02.2022 Going through samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, fresh, varnish, light wood, vanilla, fruity, light pear, faint pineapple. Palate Intense, fresh, light spicy, fruity, light citrus, faint chocolate, light metallic, light nutts. Finish Medium to long, warm, light wood, faint chocolate, faint nutts, fruits. Extra note. Needs to rest for a while to release all its flavours.

    The nose is warm and mellow. Fruity (pear-citrus), rather fresh. Of course, a hint of varnish comes through, as well as spices and vanilla. There's no hint of alcohol, and it's a far cry from some Jam's high ester noses! On the palate, the alcohol is warm and lively. The rum is rather oily and coats the entire palate in an instant. There's a vegetal side to it, with hints of tropical fruit. But it is above all spicy (vanilla - pepper...). The finish is rather pungent, with light wood, spices and menthol.
