Very good rum. Rich and full nose but quite elegant with fruity notes that contrast with those of the barrel. On the palate it's fruitier, I don't feel the excessive presence of wood that many suggest to me. Good good.

the could be a little more intense, yet a very exciting combination of peach, sandalwood, rose and cinnamon. for my taste a little too thin and woody.

Ročník 1997. S 8,2 z 10 jde o velmi dobrou lahev, byť ne špičku mého žebříčku.
