    The nose has lots of oak, roasted almond, floral cognac and a distance smokiness. The palate keeps the oak the nose. On the sweeter side. There's also hazelnuts, sugarcane and a prickle of cinnamon. Toasted coconut husk and a touch of vanilla towards the finish. The finish is surprisingly long. Still sweet but now with dark chocolate notes and the smokiness from the nose shows up. A very nice rum. Very easy drinking, lot's of flavour and depth. A rum that somebody new to drinking neat spirits would love. Reminds me of Santa Teresa 1796.

    Simple et efficace. Un bon VSOP très bien équilibré.

    Ein sehr angenehmer, leichter und frischer Rum, bei dem die Lagerung nichts überdeckt. Die verschiedenen Fässer sorgen für interessante Noten, von frischen vegetalen Anklängen zu Frucht und leichtem Holz.

    Bon rapport qualité prix..
