Interesting nose full of christmas spices - licorice, cloves, cardamom; together with some sweet fruity candies and dried herbs. The taste and finish are also pretty nice, fruity, I got quite pronounced mandarin notes accompanied by the classic vegetal, grassy notes. Don't really understand the lower rating with this rum, I quite liked it. :)
Tasted at a private tasting. I remember this was a people's favourite. Good flavours not too old not too young. Nose: glue/nail polish. Vanilla. Caramel. Lime. Weird. Nice!

Resting the rum helps raisins and lemon peel, chocolate and leather, pastry, flowery and herbaceous touch of cane, some soap. 8,1:The finish is long, dry and bitter with sugarcane honey, grassy and flowery, vegetal with black tea, tobacco, the fruits are yellow, as the wood roasted, smoky with dark chocolate, coffee, peppery...
