Phew, an incredible rum! Reminds me a lot of the Bristol with sherry finish, just in cask strength!

A really nice old drop. The nose promises quite a bit. Dried fruits slightly woody and yet somewhat sweet. On the palate then in the first seconds a bit alcoholic but quickly yields to fruits with banana, coconut and a nice vanilla sweetness. In the finish comes a slight pleasant bitterness.

Incredible nose, full of plum and cherry, some wood and even floral. Palate rich of banana, vanilla, coconut. complex and tasty. I like it. Finish bit alcoholic, but not much. Very good rum!
