Overall
Score
8.3
Nose
Oak driven. Crushed toasted hazelnuts on top of a banana and chocolate dessert. Needs time to open and show its full rich sweet depth.
Palate
Gentle and well layered. Cigar, caramelised peach. Deep and balanced.
Finish
A rich concentrated fruitiness that then gives way to a crisp oak.
Comment
A classy package with the rum adding its character to an already well-matured spirit. This is what finishing is about.
