Whisky & Rhum Epris L'Esprit Single Estate Brazilian Rum 2011
">Cask-strength Brazilian from Epris, 12 years old at 53.1%, this pours light and fresh — not the heavy tropical thing the origin might suggest. The nose runs sugarcane, citrus and light floral, with the umburana cask giving cinnamon and baking spice without dominating. Palate stays fresh and oily: yellow fruit, pear, black tea, a peppery metallic tingle. One taster called the wood "attaque très boisée" that fades fast into a shorter, dry finish.
The community says- Fresh fruity nose
- Umburana spice
- But: Short finish

Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Fresh, fruity Brazilian with umburana spice Members find it original and easy to like — fresh, fruity, gently spiced, and different from the usual Epris. The main gripe: a short, dry finish after all that promise.

Somehow exciting! Aged tropically for 6 years in Umburans barrels. Light cinnamon notes, fruit, wood, baking spices.

Rhum assez original. Nez plutôt différent de ce que l on trouve en bouche. Nous avons un nez assez rond et gourmand sur des notes chaudes, pâtissières. Là bouche est plutôt dominée par le fruit rehaussé d un poivré/ métallique qui picote à l arrière de la langue. La finale moyenne et sèche
Review by Djehey
Profil frais et fruité ! Je m'attendais à autre chose à la vue de la provenance. On a également un côté pimenté qui accompagne la bouche et la finale. Les arômes boisés sont peu présents, ce qui est cohérent avec sa couleur claire. Profil intéressant !
Review by Adrien B
Nez joli encaustic. Frais et floral. Attaque très boisé qui s'estompe vite. Mais petite finale.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Sice jemná, ale moc povedená vůně. Často mi to umburana dřevo nesedne, ale to není tento případ. Těžko to popsat, ale prostě to hezky voní. Chuťově je to zase exotika. Pár kousků z produkce Epris jsem měl, ale tento dost vybočuje. Nicméně pořád správným směrem.
Review by Richard Krupa
Hodně sladkého koření ve vůni i chuti
