The primary tasting notes include red grapefruit, dried fruit, spices, malt, and fruitcake on the nose, with flavors of grapefruit, spice, barrel notes, leather, and red pepper on the palate, finishing with notes of barrel, licorice, grappa, leather, and peppery grapefruit.
Overall Taste: Rich, complex, and spicy rum with tropical fruit, earthy notes, and a hint of barrel influence.
The rum has a remarkable similarity to a matured grappa, being very spicy with a slight bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit peel and a bittersweet aftertaste of licorice. Accompanied by various candied fruits and candied violets, it also has a slight maltiness and a relatively "thick" mouthfeel. It's a fascinating experience, although it may not suit everyone's palate.
