Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
we’re once again meandering through the realm of great rums, somewhere between Jamaica and Guadeloupe, before a wave of Corinth raisins and what is clearly old Pedro Ximénez takes over, bringing its full parade of dried fruits: dates, figs, goji berries, golden sultanas... Then a hint of cedarwood, sandalwood, and a handful of Mozartkugeln, chocolate-coated marzipan balls that, indeed, seem to hum a little Mozart of their own. With water: fresh putty and even a dab of neoprene glue lend it a wonderfully down-to-earth, almost proletarian charm
restaurant Palate
still quite brutal, even after twelve or thirteen years in glass. The alcohol kicks, alongside kirsch and all manner of rustic fruit eau-de-vie. Water feels more like a recommendation than a suggestion. With water: everything relaxes and rounds out, the dried fruits reclaim their seats, and a soft spoonful of multifloral honey adds another layer of charm
timer Finish
fairly long, rounded, nearly sweet, honeyed and awash in raisins
