Ron Navazos Palazzi 23-Year Cask Strength Rum

I’m not sure what’s wrong with this rum. Do I have a bad one? The nose had some dark fruit notes, but there was some funk to it, not sure if this came from the oak or something else. The palate was a little sweet, dry and funk. In a report for the 15 years, they make reference to olive oil, I’m not sure if this what’s coming through, but there’s some resemblance to oil or wax quality. The finish is long lasting. A little bit of water opened up to more fruit flavors, but that funk was still present. A bit disappointing.

Over 18 months after my initial taste, this rum didn’t improve. Still had a funky nose and an olive oil note on the palate. Force retiring this bottle. Extremely disappointed for a $100 bottle
