« Camp amongst the flowers by a moss-lined brook in the spring-time, frying butter, wild mushrooms and spices in a copper pan over an open fire before pouring them over hot brioche. »
Colour : Amber
Nose : Fresh, mentholated opening that evolves into a dark funk. Gourmet aromas of crème caramel, orange marmalade, kumquats, and strawberries intertwine with floral notes of frangipani and iris. Vanilla and licorice provide a balance of sweetness and spice, while a touch of rubber adds an intriguingly rustic edgee.
Palate : Rich and enveloping, with mineral notes of petrichor and gourmet nuances of buttery brioche and candied oranges. Tobacco, chicory, and rich coffee bring an elegant bitterness, balanced by a refreshing menthol note. A savory hint reminiscent of brown sauce adds an unexpected but delightful twist.
Finish : Long and persistent, leaving behind spicy touches of licorice pipes, fruity echoes of ripe oranges, and a roasted impression of coffee in a rustic atmosphere, like sipping from a metal cup over a campfire. A memorable finish, full of character and complexity.
Conclusion : This rum is a true discovery in the glass, evolving over time and revealing surprises with each tasting. Aeration enhances its aromas and unveils new flavors. A bottle that promises a memorable sensory experience and is sure to captivate even the most discerning enthusiasts.
