Upon opening, the initial aroma may seem pungent but quickly unveils a restrained fruity nose with expected esters and solvent notes. As the rum breathes, you will discover the sweetness of honey with hints of cherry and pineapple, complemented by dry vanilla spice in the background. Allow this rum to rest for 15-20 minutes to fully appreciate its intricate layers.
The palate begins with a pleasant sweetness that swiftly transitions to complex bitter wood notes. Esters dominate but are beautifully balanced by a floral, fruity essence reminiscent of pineapple. The bitterness re-emerges, providing a fascinating interplay of flavors. Chocolate and wood are prominent, with nuts, vanilla, and fruit taking supporting roles, creating a well-balanced yet intense profile.
The finish is marked by a lingering combination of funkiness, vanilla, bitterness, and subtle hints of tea and nuts. The presence of lingering fruit further enhances this exquisite rum experience. Despite its tropical maturation, it exudes the classic Long Pond character, making it a standout in the Wild Series by Rom De Luxe.
