Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Luscious, exotic, floral. Demerara sugar. Cloves. Old Jamaican rum. Verbena. Vanilla.
Palate
A sweet start followed by a salute of spices and exotic flavours. Coconut, cloves, cane sugar. Alcohol never bites, even without water.
Finish
Medium long, with lots of toffee and vanilla. Stem ginger.
Comment
A malt disguised in rum! Very surprising but not less exciting for that.

Dave Broom

Nose
HUGE oak impact. Starts like an ice cream float (on cherry cola), then becomes even sweeter: sponge cake, banana loaf. Add water and there’s a lightly singed note from the wood.
Palate
Slow and sweet. Tropical fruits all mushed together with vanilla, but still has a balancing grip.
Finish
Long and rounded.
Comment
A wonderful rum...sorry, whisky! You can feel the calories piling on when you drink this.
