Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
A very interesting rum for those who like woody rums! In the nose, in the mouth, in the finish..... there is wood, oak, barrel everywhere with a little spice! We feel immediately the small barrel as well as the effect that it had on this rum. Personally, I like a lot, but I think it can disturb.

Nice adhesive note!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Il s’agit donc d’un rhum distillé en 2004 et vieilli durant 9 ans dans des mini-fûts de chêne du limousin de 55L (les fûts standard contiennent 400L). Le contact rhum-bois étant plus important dans un petit fût comme celui-ci, cela donne une palette aromatique intense. Au nez c’est boisé. Mais pas le boisé d’un port Morant. Un beau boisé agréable. A cela s’ajoute des notes de fruits et un nez pâtissier. Difficile de ne pas vouloir le goûter ! Et en bouche, le boisé est long mais délicat. C’est parfaitement équilibré et des notes épicées viennent se glisser. C’est parfait.
