Tasting Notes
"The rhum is like a good soul bass line - tart, hot, funky and even a little sweaty. Fresh lemon acidity mixes with fresh apricot and passion fruit, with medium-roast coffee, caramel and butterscotch. Spices are a mixture of allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg, going more savory with rosemary, sage and chive. Though it has a light mouth feel, the flavors linger, making it ideal as both a neat sipper and cocktail base. "
