    How does this rum taste?

    Woody Mauritian with Armagnac vibes
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like Armagnac or wood-focused, moderately dry rums, this is a natural next step—enough complexity to reward attention without the burn or aggression of cask strength bottles.

    Not really suitable for

    Those chasing very sweet dessert rums or high-ester funk, and drinkers who want super-intense, long-lasting aromas.

    Aroma

    Fruity Armagnac Oak Woody

    Cherry blossoms, cherry and Armagnac on the nose. Super delicious sweetness on the palate. In the finish complemented by herbal notes.

    Pretty wood driven Mauritian rum. Armagnaccy. Good sweet and sour balance. Dried fruits. Thick. a bit of Tobacco. Not as "fresh" as younger New Grove. More complex in spiciness and "woody" flavours. Recommended if you're also into the more thicker flavoured Armagnacs/Cognacs and Brandies.

    Despite the relatively low alcohol content, it surprises both on the nose and on the palate with balanced woody notes paired with Armagnac, fruity, herbal notes. Unfortunately, the notes fade very quickly.

    Pleasant surprise. Beautifully woody in the positive sense. Unfortunately, a somewhat volatile fellow in terms of smell and taste. Very good PLV.
