In fact, it has the rather strong impression of an adhesive note with the first smell. The longer the rum but is in glass and can breathe, the more will disappear this note and is replaced by very vanilla, creamy smell. In the mouth, then one feels at the beginning not the least bit of alcohol - a very pleasant, round, soft, mild feeling. The flavors are mainly sweet - vanilla, chocolate and above all floating, very strong coconut flavor define this rum in the finish then a slight alcoholic scratching and after a while coming but then some, not at all unpleasant bitterness and dry mouth..
An extremely exciting rum, layered and interesting. The coconut note that overlaid everything, one must certainly love - who does not like this flavor, should keep distance and another, similar sweet rum as the Zacapa 23 pick. For cocktails fit probably mainly so my impression is of tiki cocktails like the "Zombie", in which he can bring his beautiful vanilla and coconut, or "El Padrino" (with thanks to the God of rum, Rumhowler and his blog, which I wiederkäue this wonderfully velvety cocktail idea).
2 oz Plantation Rum
1 oz Amaretto
1/2 oz lemon juice
What one immediately catches the eye is the bottle presentation. Honestly - this is the most beautiful and striking bottle that I've ever seen. A delightful, spirited and yet discreet shape, a baroque plugs (unfortunately only with plastic cork), lettering on the glass in gold color, a noble label and the cord that is braided around the bottle. A thick cardboard to - Those looking for a gift for a Rumfreund, and invest the money can and will: Bright eyes and a broad smile are guaranteed the recipient.
As with all my reviews spirits is my intention: to drink no more, but better.
