Appearance: Dark, brilliant amber. Nose: The aromas reveal a woody complexity marked by notes of cedar, accompanied by tropical fruits such as banana and apricot, as well as hints of cocoa, coffee and tobacco. Palate: The attack is supple and fatty, with a slight sweetness, followed by a rich palette of vanilla, caramel, fresh tropical fruit and sultanas. The texture is full and warm, with supple tannins and an ashy note that adds an extra dimension. The finish is long and persistent, with stewed flavours that unfold harmoniously. Overall impression: An expressive and accomplished rum, combining aromatic intensity, balance and depth. Its richness on the palate, underpinned by good length and a coherent structure, testifies to mastery of execution and a high level of quality.
