    good Versailles profile, but rather on the spicy side on the way with allspice, tobacco, oak. The (quite sparse) fruity notes go towards dried date and dried apple rings. Similar profile on the palate. In the finish toasty-dry

    Ugh, it tastes like soap! Or do I just not like licorice?

    Bouteille juste ouverte et immédiatement une odeur de bois et de réglisse en émane. Après plusieurs minutes, un peu de fruits compotés, du pruneau et une touche de vanille. En bouche, c'est très boisé, pimenté et amer. L'alcool est très bien intégré. Finale toujours plus boisée avec du café et du cuir. Un demerara très sombre et marqué par le fut. Ne plaira pas à tout le monde. J'aime beaucoup. Edit : deux semaines après sont ouverture, l'oxydation à déjà fait son effet et le rhum a gagné en gourmandise. Superbe bouteille, un bon Demerara bien dark.

    I misplaced a few tasting notes a while ago, amongst these was this adolescent Versailles. C: Aged in the tropics or caramel coloured (E150)? I’m not liking this already. N: A blend of Granny apple peel, medium strong coffee, burnt sugar and fumes of petrol. I also get brine, which is typical of Versailles, but here it´s muted. I also get a strong kind of fake sweetness taste that reminds me of bad column still distillation. This make me think that perhaps too much E150 was involved in this single cask. M: Spicy and bitter. Burnt sugar with a sour coffee taste. It differs from Continental aged Guyana pot still rums I’ve tasted lately and that I like so much. There is no freshness here. F: Not long and sour. B: No
