This might just be the finest rum I've had. It's bold and fruity on the nose, with a subtle smoky undertone. The texture in the mouth is heavenly. The most prominent taste is dried apricots, then a hint of smokiness, and a lovely sweetness. The finish is incredibly long, with continued notes of dried apricots.
Intense caramel on the nose, accompanied by star fruit and other exotic notes. Even richer on the palate, thick and rounded. This isn't for the timid; it packs more punch than its 43% ABV suggests. A very long, tingling finish that returns in waves. Incredible, what a rum!
A light, fragrant nose brimming with fruit, subtly hinting at molasses and butterscotch. The palate arrives smoothly and concludes with a long, pleasant lingering warmth. Flavors of caramel and banana merge with the essence of barrel aging. A potent spirit for sipping. Outstanding.
Another premium rum. This rum is exceptional, offering delightful notes of chocolate molasses and a hint of tobacco on the palate. The finish is as expected for a rum of this stature. It's a bit expensive, but a rare find.
In my opinion, this is the pinnacle of rum. Bananas, caramelized sugar, clove, tobacco, a whisper of smoke... the list continues. It transports me back to a fantastic trip to New Orleans.
I had the good fortune to sample this during a distillery tour. Incredibly smooth on the palate, with notes of caramel and molasses. The finish is lasting, with almost no sharp bite.
