This is a really great rum, which no surprise to me. It has a nice pop of fruit, with a good spicy backbone that provides a good balance to the fruit and other spices. A bit of sandalwood and mango come in and out as well to tie it all together for me. It lacks some of the pop of other Alambique’s I like more, but this is still a great release. It drinks well below proof too.
