Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Black Peppercorn, Lemon Peel, faint grass, olive oil, brine
Finish: Shorter finish, Black Pepper, Brine, Olive Oil
Rating: 6/10
Its very good. Nice flavors, the nose is awesome with all that bright citrus going on. In comparison, however, the palate and finish lose a bit of that. I think I prefer the basic 50% Neisson slightly, and Pere Labat 59 a bit more as well. Not a bad rhum by any means, just not as good as some others.
