Un autre rhum de l’embouteillage Suisse Origin R. Avec un nez herbacé, herbes amères, menthol léger mais rond et très agréable. La bouche est extraordinaire, la montée en puissance des arômes est progressive, ils tapissent la bouche avec du soyeux. La finale est sur le vermouth et un côté caramel. Elle est persistante mais tout en légèreté. L’alcool est parfaitement intégré. Ce rhum me fait penser à une cascade dans une forêt subtropicale avec plein de hautes herbes autour.

Nice nose. A full-bodied rum with variety. Air does it good, it's better balanced. Herbal, spicy, medicinal. In the finish yellow fruits and tobacco notes join in. Complex awesome rum, but still easy sipping.
