Review by Fred Tillac
👃🏼 = Du boisé, de la vanille, orange et abricot confits, du caramel, un peu de fruits à coque et de cannelle.. 👄 = Avec un peu de vivacité ce rhum un peu gras ajoute du chocolat, de la pêche et de la noix de muscade. La finale est courte et tellement douce qu'on veut encore y goûter. Cet assemblage est certes bon et bien présenté mais décevant pour son âge et son prix.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Too much caramel, and too weak rum...could be nice, but
