Review by Frank
Nose: slightly alcoholic, reminiscent of calvados. As soon as this has evaporated, the floral-fruity character emerges. Green apple with a dash of lemon, plus a muted sweetness like honeycomb. A light vinegar note comes through, followed by clove and a hidden hint of caraway. Now it also becomes sweeter, burnt sugar. The finish is then slightly woody, tobacco and leather, and still Calvados. Palate: no longer as light as on the nose, fuller, spicier, darker. Bitter, nutty, slightly salty. The sweetness tends towards nougat. Dark chocolate with mocha. But there is also a slightly floral note, perhaps violets. The finish remains bitter with violets and Calvados again. Not bad at all for a Cuban. They're usually always too Spanish, alcoholic and light for me.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
strangely sulphurous, metallic and with some cocoa and mocha, subtle grapefruit peel and baked apple notes. plus fleshy umami notes... very unusual and not necessarily my cup of tea...
