superb clarity. Initial sniffs encounter
fat, juicy, dried fruit (black raisins,
plums) and marshmallow fragrances
Additional time in the glass releases a
bouquet that’s more brown/
Demerara sugarlike in nature
than honey or cocoa.
Entry is screamingly sweet
and unctuous, but somehow
it works almost more like
a liqueur than a rum.
Midpalate is bittersweet,
beany/podlike, with masses
of dark chocolate flavor.
