Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, Dark Chocolate, vanilla bean, Black Pepper, Nutmeg.
Finish: Medium Length finish. Vanilla, Black Pepper, Nutmeg, Oak Spice, Dark Chocolate.
Rating: 6/10
Overall, a very good offering. The flavor profile is nice if a bit on the simpler side. Compared to a lot of the rums coming out of Venezuela this is a breath of fresh air with the high proof and no additives. If you are a bourbon fan I think this would be right up your alley but for those with a more adventure minded outlook on rum (such as myself) this is a pretty easy option to skip over.
