Bacardí Gran Reserva Diez 10 Year

Smooth, a little floral with apricot, vanilla, and caramel

On the nose immediate hits of caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, pineapple, orange peel, and some spicey notes of black and white pepper as well as light anise. Very lovely nose. The mouth swirl immediately releases the vanilla, caramel, and sugars onto the tongue and releases tropical fruit notes of pineapple, and mango. The spicey notes hit the throat gently. Notes hitting the nasal passage dissipated quickly. Lingering notes of caramel and vanilla remain on the tongue for a few minutes, but all other notes disappear quick. Overall scoring - Nose 3.5/5; Taste 2.75/5; Overall 3.25/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Friday Night Pour

A little ethanol leads on the nose followed by brown sugar and tropical fruit. Semisweet and somewhat silky on the palate. Rough spices and a little heat on the finish.
