This was a superb drink, very different to the likes of Don Pancho 18, Appleton Estate 21 and others in that range. On the nose I got evergreen mint, grass. The palate and finish were dry but I got more mint, grass, floral, and a little spice. The finish was very unique to me. Maybe it was how dry it was compared to other premium runs that I had tasted. This was not a bad thing, it was quite surprising and welcome.

The theme of this is very simple: tropical. You get melon, banana, mango, all thinks yellow and sweet, although this is still a quite dry liquid. There are leather notes mixed with orange-clementine. On the finish you find the grassy notes specific to the rhum agricole along with some ginger.
Major sugar cane on the nose. Flavor profile is sophisticated, but very dry. Drinks a bit like a Cognac, but more herbaceous. I’m enjoying the celery-flavored finish. Apart from the nose, it doesn’t possess many similarities to its “Rum” cousins. 3.95.
A nice cognac like rum with notes of grass, herbs, floral, chocolate, pepper, and caramelized brown sugar
Yes. Yum Rhum. Herbal and some spice, but smooth.
Sweet, creamy delicious
