Upon nosing, this rum offers a suave and inviting bouquet, reminiscent of sugarcane, molasses, and pain d'epices. The aroma evokes a comforting image of a cozy fireplace, perfect for sipping on a chilly evening. Spicy notes mingle with warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg, alongside tropical aromas like coconut, banana, and hints of dried dates, creating a complex olfactory experience.
As the rum graces your palate, it reveals a velvety texture, with flavors of ripe tropical fruits, enhanced by a subtle rancio note that imparts maturity and elegance. The rancio note is akin to a light nuttiness, reminiscent of grilled nuts and cacao, while the fruits evolve into a decadent, liqueur-like quality. Rich flavors like chocolate, burnt sugar, and spice combine with soft notes of dried dates and banana, creating a complex and rounded taste.
The mid-palate introduces a rich, fruity character, redolent of a luscious compote of baked exotic fruits, intertwined with a delicate coppery undertone. This coppery note lingers, providing a harmonious balance to the fruit-forward profile. The finish is dry and lingering, with hints of cocoa, black pepper, and banana. It is long-lasting, with a touch of sweetness and a lingering warmth that invites another sip.
Overall, this rum is a testament to the art of blending, as it seamlessly merges the diverse elements into a cohesive and satisfying whole. Please note that the label on the bottle may vary, as the number of the cask used in the blending process can differ, resulting in slight variations in the number of bottles produced per cask.
