Review by Paul Christiaens
Nice continental Guyana rum, low in esters and reminding me of a Speyside whisky. Fruity, a hint of green notes, creamy/cake-y, a pinch of salt. 80 points Nose: a bit of varnish and glue, and a hint of olive, and an inside swimming pool (chlorine) and a pinch of salt. Yet, there are quite some cake dough notes: cake batter and pastry. Also quite some yellow stone fruit, honey, and mint. Was this a rum from the Speyside? Palate: a fruity and oily attack, followed by honey, vanilla, cream, aniseed and a sour note. Then, pepper joins. Varnish and raisin are there but subdued. Finish: still rounded and a bit saline, more on olive again, plus pepper and a nice note of varnish.
