Review by Giorgio Garotti
Bellissima espressione dell’ultima annata distillata in pot still da Barbancourt! Un agricole intenso e ricco di sapori! Ti regala un sacco di frutta con leggere spezie e cioccolato che lo rendono davvero equilibrato! Si sente a pieno la naturalezza del rum haitiano!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.10.2001 Whiskymessen.dk in Kolding. Went with good friends of which most were whisky drinkers. They did have a bit of rum present and some bottles we brought for more fun. Notes. Medium dark in colour. Nose: light wood, dried fruit, floral, cinnamon. Palate: velvety, balanced, fruity, plum, berries, vanilla, light coffee. Finish: medium to long, warm, raisin, berries, chocolate.
