Online tasting notes for reference

Nose:
Refined and typical of Jamaican rums, the nose reveals luscious notes of apricot chocolate, mango and passion fruit, complemented by more empyreumatic notes of wax and Russian cooking.  

Taste:
The palate is racy and well balanced. It offers aromas that oscillate between spicy notes with cloves and star anise and super greedy pastry notes reminiscent of rum baba and chocolate éclairs. 

Finish:
Balanced, the finish offers a nice persistence. A mix of coconut, citrus, apricot, quince jelly and surprising woody and spicy notes.
