     7,2:The nose is open and generous from the outset. The sugar/vanilla duo is classic, but there is a fruity background of white grapes or sweet white wine. The grape sugar is rich, offering nuances of tobacco and sweet caramel. There's also a golden resin with vegetal accents. On aeration, the first impression is always of sweetness, this time moving towards red fruit candy. Some ripe exotic fruit (papaya, mango), leather and a little cherry pit give a solid structure to the whole. We're again reminded of sweet white wine with what could be a ripe melon drizzled with a drop of muscat. A little acidic, metallic smoke coats the glass over time. 7:On the palate, the rum is sweet and fruity, with banana in particular. Dried fruits appear in a well-balanced whole.The hint of smoke seen on the nose makes a noticeable appearance, before giving way to orange zest powdered with cinnamon. 6,8:The finish is pleasant and sweet, with some caramelized woodiness.

     There is way to much wood tannin on this for me. Starts out ok but the finish comes fast and is very dry and spicy. Almost antiseptic. I just don’t get this rum. Not for me, I actually prefer the anejo cuatro anos to this.

     All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

     I was Looking forward to this one since it was said to be great in mixing and not like it’s brethren. On the nose, it smelled like rubbing alcohol. It was not good neat. It’s a decent mixer for the price.
