Dégusté à la Cave Saint Seurin lors d'un passage à Bordeaux. Franchement j'ai regardé un peu les commentaires, je ne comprends pas. Pour 60€ on a un XO bien frais, avec des beaux fruits, un peu d'épices (pas mal de bois, ok). Top, je conseille fortement cette quille !
On The Rocks: On the nose initially a molasses smell then a pleasant and balanced fruit, floral, oak and brown sugar notes with some kind of baking. Taste is light on the mouth with an initial strong spice and oak with some underlying fruity notes. Finish is medium length but is very front loaded as it slowly gets a little bitter. Mixed Pepsi Zero: Smells like a little sweeter Pepsi Zero with hints of fruit. Taste reveals a nice shine through of spice and oak. It is a very clean and smooth finish and feels quite light. You could enjoy this either way.
Good straight and mixed
Bouteille simple mais originale , ce rhum bien coloré laisse percevoir un vieillissement conséquent. Au nez, on confirme le vieillissement avec un boisé intense, un peu de cacao et d'épices, et quelques notes alcooliques. En bouche, le chêne est toujours bien présent et accompagné d'un piquant qui rappelle le piment. La finale est plutôt courte. C'est un rhum que j'ai apprécié en première dégustation, sans pour autant être transcendant.
