Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, this is rum and it could certainly not be anything else, and certainly not wine brandy. Starts extremely aromatic, on ultra-huge notes of sugar cane and fantastic herbal notes (dill, Colombo spices), then fabulous woods (red cedar and sandal plus the same hints of thuja as in the Armagnac), then quite some incense, then ripe plums, then puréed black olives (what we call tapenade here in France)… What a stuning nose! Endless development on all things woody and spicy – absolutely terrific spirit. And these wonderful ‘rancid’ notes that one can find in old rums
restaurant Palate
punchy and majestic – and certainly not overly woody this time. Beautiful notes of Corinth raisins, sugar cane of course, bitter oranges and very ripe bananas, then all kinds of spirits such as date or fig from the middle-east, then fir honeydew, then rum-soaked (obviously) sultanas, then a little ginger, turmeric and cardamom… And more oranges, more cane sugar syrup, crystallised pineapples… All that in a perfect oakiness, not dominating at all. But beware of rumoporn, better cut this here
timer Finish
rather long, wonderfully raisiny and orangey
