Review and Tasting

Sampled on 16/10/2012

Appearance:

Clear, mid golden amber with slow falling tears.

Aroma:

Vanilla, slightly tart passion fruit, overripe banana and tarte tatin.

Taste:

Wood tannins and spirit notes balance vanillins and fruit to produce a light-medium bodied complex agricol rum. Maturation period is perfect – just enough oak influence but not too much.

Aftertaste:

Long, lingering spicy oak and vanilla.
