Excellent. The flavors in this pop out aggressively and in your face. The proof point is not noticeable as it drinks well under 70% and feels well integrated. The vegetal and salt notes really shine here as does the citrus. Great neat and killer in a cocktail I tried made with it, another great rhum from Pere Labat.
