The bottle has such a nice heft and feel to it, the cork is synthetic which is great, but the topper is dark wood with a brass embossed cap. Super classy, I dig it. Ripe bananas, grilled pineapple, coconut sunscreen, magic marker (in a good way), flan, burnt caramel, and molasses. Wow, this nose just keeps going, and there is so much to unpack. First sip, it's dry, not anywhere near as sweet as the nose implies. Warm spices, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, a chili pepper bite too. Further tastes, the bananas, and vanilla come on strong. Burnt caramel covers the tongue, with a slight bitterness, and a richness with molasses, brown sugar, and nutmeg. The finish is oak, and white pepper corns, as well as chili pepper. The cloves and ginger linger for a long time. You really can pick up age on this, it has such depth of flavor, and the barrel is a strong background to every other note. There is a bitterness that I love in aged bourbons, that I haven't found in rum before, at least not this deep and complex. I love this stuff, and going forward will likely try and always have a bottle on hand. 93/100
