TASTING NOTES:
A dark colored rum with deep red hues. Fresh tropical fruit flavors of banana, pineapple and orange, both on the nose and in the mouth. Combined with soft vanilla, caramel and subtle toffee. This rum has a strong taste followed by a soft finish.

This is the first time I've come across this expression; I must make a point of visiting a rum festival one day (I actually did once, a long time ago). They say it all on the label, 'Jamaican owned', single estate distilled to bottled, 100% copper pot sill, zero colouri… hold on, no they don't say that. Colour: dark red amber. Huh… Nose: still awesome, perhaps smokier here, but we do have the esters, the olives, the compost notes, the brighter maritime ones, this cedarwood, this little tar… With water: herbs, paraffin, shoe polish, Portuguese anchovies in brine… Mouth (neat): a bit sweet, curiously floral (orange blossom water, violet liqueur), you'd almost believe it is some cream de Jamaican rum on the palate. Or old boosted 'navy' rum. With water: the Portuguese anchovies are saving it, together with some pastis perhaps. Less sweetish when reduced to, say 45% ABV (very roughly). Finish: rather long, a little salty-sweet. Comments: very good drop, it's just pretty different. Love the brighter WPs!
