To Damoiseau
"Second tasting: the nose is the hammer, very similar to the '95! On the palate then a dream, incredibly creamy and the alcohol excellently integrated, there is the '95 much sharper (+1). In the nose first resin and cough syrup, very complex! Palate: surprisingly mild, excellent integrated alcohol, strong spicy and again very complex. The medicinal notes are in the foreground. Aftertaste: the rum fades very slowly. The medicinal and grassy notes prevail. The medicinal character dominates the rum and makes it something special, top!"
"A treat"
"wow, terrific! Beautiful fruit and wood notes. Similar notes to the Savanna Lord (10y LMDW) but more complex and round without esters. Find many parallels here."
"Formidable rum. Heavy fruit notes, leather, barrel influences, subtle sweetness, mint, well-tarred spiciness. The alcohol is present, but apart from that there is nothing to complain about here. A pleasure!"
