A rum with marked scents of olives and iodine. I feel like I'm breathing in the sea crashing on the rocks. It is really strong and leaves no room for too many nuances. Not for everyone. A summer rum! Definitely very suitable for cocktails of a certain level.I think, however, that whites, like wines, should be rated in a separate classification because they are too different from barricaded rums. This rating is high, but clearly cannot be compared to an aged rum because it is a whole different thing.

Je n'y gouterais pas au petit dej et je pense qu'une bouteille serait de trop mais content d'avoir renouvelé la dégustation au RhumFest. Ce côté saumure et olive, qui prend le dessus sur les esters et le fruit, c'est assez surprenant :)

Hochesterpotpourri-funky. Früchte, Banane, Speck, Röstaromen, Kuhmist. Intensiv und komplex. Das macht Spaß. Sehr wässrig, Früchte zu Beginn, dann wieder dominant Kuhmist. Kuhmist hält sich lange und wird ergänzt von Rauchnoten. Aromenerlebnis, intensiv, das mag ich. Allerdings ein wenig wild und alkoholisch. Da ist der 9jährige mit 46% wesentlich gefälliger.
