Hello all, and may you all have a wonderful advent (rum) experience, even though this coronavirus is still endangering our families and holidays
However, even if I’ve seen the “spoilerl on first post (couldn’t make it yesterday), here’s my impressions:
- color: faint gold, very smooth and clear…might give away its young age
- nose: very interesting…nothing familiar to me…which led me to think that it comes from a distillery/country I’ve never experienced. I get a very fruity nose…it really reminds me of a fruity wine…grapefruit, cedar, mixed with sweeter notes of candied dried fruits. On the background, I sense a vegetal, almost lightly grassy note, along with a plastic sensation…weird, but in a good way!
At this point, if I have to guess, I would say it is a Clairin
Mouth: slightly acid and salty…are you sure this is not a wine? I still get fruity notes, more on the pineapple side, mixed with spicy and vegetal note. After a while, I get also very dark, bitter chocolate. The finish is medium, on the spicier, dried side
Definitely not a clairin. There is some “Jamaican” vibe to it, but not enough for my “experience”.
All in all, really interesting start!
Cheers
Luca
