Aroma visualization from community tastings
Famille Ricci Nicaragua
Most tasters land in the same place: this drinks like dessert in a glass — dark chocolate, espresso, caramel and pastry, with one reviewer literally calling it cotton candy. The 22 years and 60.4% show up as a warm, peppery heat, and a few feel the alcohol isn't fully tucked in. Aromas are gourmand but, several note, fairly simple, and the finish only goes medium.
The community says- Gourmand chocolate nose
- Caramel and pastry
- Alcohol not integrated

Rich, dessert-like chocolate-caramel sipper, a bit hot A rich, chocolate-and-caramel Nicaraguan that tastes like a dessert. Loved for its gourmand nose, though several find the high-proof alcohol a touch hot and the finish only medium.

Review by Djehey
Visite chez Famille Ricci ! Rhum très gourmand, on boit de la barbe à papa ! Assez intense en bouche, longueur plutôt moyenne, arômes assez simples. Mais au final, agréable, on passe un bon moment.
Review by Jacques etdom
Un nicaragua sans edulcoration, c est bien meilleur ! Un nez très gourmand avec le chocolat au premier plan, puis un mélange coco vanille. En bouche c est très gourmand, un vrai dessert, toujours avec les même marqueurs et un alcool un peu piquant. C est chaud et rond. La finale est moyenne. Bravo M. Ricci pour ce beau travail de sélection.

#4498 24.11.2023 The price is a bit steep compared to what you get (in my mind). Lightly fruity with nice pastries and nutty notes. The palate is fresh and has nice cherry notes. The finish is medium long, lightly dry with nice spices. The empty glass has some vanilla and light caramel.
