Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
as expected, this is very ‘different’. In truth, it’s smelling like some old rhum agricole at first nosing, much, much rougher and wilder than what it should have been. It’s even very spirity, extremely grassy, with just touches of burnt wood and marshmallows lingering on. That was just before it switched towards more candied and caramelly tones, with whiffs of cheap liqueurs and Cointreau. Bizarre, very bizarre, although it becomes a tad easier and more classic after a few minutes. Curious about the palate now…
restaurant Palate
much less reckless now, with a very nice attack on coffee and marmalade but some burnt notes are soon to appear, together with some cardboard as is often the case with these old bottlings. Tea. Becomes as dry as some cheap blends (not saying all blends are cheap, of course they aren’t)
timer Finish
medium long, at times pleasantly citrusy but other wise ‘burnt’ and cardboardy
