Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

some rubber at first nosing (a box of new rubber bands), and probably whiffs of exhaust fumes, then some rather obvious notes of high-ester rum, Jamaican-style. Did they recycle some old rum casks? Another one that’s very intriguing, to say the least. The whole’s very dry

restaurant Palate

not so sure, after all. I wouldn’t call it ‘rum-inflenced’, but there may be traces, such as this Demerara sugar, and this discreet brininess. Beyond that, some malt, oranges, tea, and apple pie, then some mint-flavoured tea, Turkish-style. With pine nuts!

timer Finish

medium, with some chocolate, marmalade, orange juice, and a little honey. Very nice
