Tasting Notes by Peter Holl&, Foursquare UK Brand Ambassador: Nose: A complex nose of Dried apricots, sultanas, & zesty lemon peel. Tamarind syrup, fudge, & a hint of cloves & caraway seeds. Crispy bacon, cedarwood, toasted bread, & a hint of eucalyptus. Palate: An oily mouthful of rich, dried summer fruits. Roasted pineapple, caramel, a touch of fresh ginger, honey, & dried coconut. Gentle hints of burnt rubber. Finish: Complex, lingering notes of cinnamon, honied-ginger, bitter cacao. A warming, astringent persistence that builds with each sip. Overall: This is a complex Rum, & one that delivers with a pleasing intensity. It feels like one might get lost in the nose alone, long before taking a sip. Taking your time is to be recommended as this Rum continues to reward exploration.
