Taster

Nose: Sweet with a floral note and a touch of beeswax. A distant echo of toffee trying to cover up the spirity olfactory frame.

Palate: Extremely sweet at first, on the Demerara side like the first one, then getting really bitter. A touch of ginger.

Finish: Drier, bitter, rather short.

Comment: Again, this rum taste, in a sharper and richer version than the first one.

Score: 6.5

Taster

Nose: Dry crackers, but underlying sweetness. Kumquat and pomegranate. Shows a decent layering effect. Sweet/sour with balanced caramelised oak tones. Soft with water, if a little one-dimensional.

Palate: Very sweet. Vanilla ice cream and coffee. A little mango. Tongue clinging, but with an early, zesty bite.

Finish: Flattens a little. Soft.

Comment: Well-balanced and pleasing.

Score: 7.5
