Review and Tasting
Sampled on 08/04/2013
Appearance:
Clear, dark coppery amber.
Aroma:
Sherry is very evident with dark cacao, dried fruit, toffee-apple-like, almost calvados aromas along with Brugal’s signature mocha coffee.
Taste:
Full-bodied with sweet vanilla, toffee and liquorice balanced by dry cinnamon spiced oak.
Aftertaste:
Fruity toffee notes continue into the finish with drier oaky tannins.
