The nose is a fresh stripped vanilla bean mixed with caramel and pineapple chunks. There is a slight peppery note, but gets overshadowed by the sugars. On the palate, the vanilla is immediately apparent. A burnt sugar follows making the sip taste of a Creme Brulé. The finish is rather quick but is super sweet. Further sips add a tinge of peppery heat to the throat with the sugars coating the teeth making the mouth salivate. This is far better than the Flor de Cana 12 year. Fantastic rum. Nose: 3.75/5 Taste 4.25/5 Overall: 4/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Friday night Pour/Special Occassion
