    Not really suitable for

    Fans of bold, high-ester or cask strength rums, and anyone wanting deep complexity or a classic sweet molasses profile.

    Pur jus ! 90% colonne et 10% pot still

    The nose is initially woody. Vanilla too. Not crazy. On the palate, wood dominates and then a bitterness mixed with acidity takes over. Grape or cognac barrel, I think. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well. Very different from the XO, which I rather liked. And clearly a step below.

    Auto-translated

    Very strong sharp acidic nose. Strong on the alcohol considering only 41 %. Airing a bit helps very much. Notes of spices/vanilla and sweet/creamy appears.
