Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
quite superb I must say but the first whiffs are of plain rum, with a lot of sugarcane, overripe bananas and that very particular grassiness that’s only to be found in Caribbean rums. It’s very interesting to nose this alongside an original official 1972 Glenlivet… Very different spirits for sure and not much of Glenlivet to be found in here (even if ‘Glenlivet’ isn’t too easy to define.) Okay, enough gibberish, this is simply a very, very nice Caribbean rum with a Scottish base, the latter only come through at deeper nosing, with hints of ale and wet hay
restaurant Palate
once again, it’s the rum that talks first, with quite some brown sugar, dried bananas and notes of bergamots and orange marmalade, followed with a little milk chocolate and a slight smokiness. Actually, the whisky says zilch here!
timer Finish
long and, once again, as rummy as rum, with only a faint maltiness and a little salt at the very end of the end
