Pike Creek 10 Year Rum Barrel Finish

Very sweet on the nose, palate and finish. Almost like a smooth less sweet rum with a few more rye-ish complexity. Nuances are a bit overwhelmed by the rum notes unfortunately. A bit strong on the rum even though I like drinking rum too.

Interesting flavor combination. I enjoyed it. Good price as well.

Nose: Aged molasses, vanilla bean, light roasted coffee, sweet milk with a touch of light cream, light caramel, perfume floral notes, banana/mild plantain, hint of a medley of red and green apples, sweet clay/earthiness, hint of a sweet smelling sea breeze, honeysuckle, hint of hearty rye, sweet oak spice, sweet candied cherries Palate: Wood tannins, bitter sweet molasses, bit of cinnamon and French toast, rye spice, some dried fruit (raisins), a hint of dark red grapes and some fresh green grapes, candied orange peel Finish: Hint of sweet candied lemon, candied orange peel, hint of bitter sweet green paprika, bitter oak tannins, light honey sweetness
