The Bottle: Squat and easy to pick out in a lineup if you know what you're looking for. It's not may favorite, if I'm honest. The white and "parchment" colors don't seem to really go together, and there are a lot of different fonts and faces at play here. Normally, that isn't something that I would even notice, but with this one I do for some reason. There's a little bit about the rum on the back label, but nothing as in-depth as you'd find on a Plantation expression. In the Glass: Bronze with a nice viscosity. On the Nose: This is where you first start to forget about the design of the bottle... It's 43%abv but there is absolutely no harshness, it has a very appealing brown sugar and leather thing going for it with just a touch of something savory on the end. I think that it has something to do with being a mix of sugarcane and molasses distillate, but there's definitely something in there beyond "sweet" that I can't quite put my finger on. It's good, whatever it is. Taste: It arrives with a sweet punch, but that very quickly dries out. The development and finish is where the complexity comes in and there are distinct bitter notes on it. Not coffee-bitter, more like an "astringency" kind of bitter. It isn't off-putting, it's just different. So this one just doesn't do it for me as a sipper. That odd bitterness really sticks to your tongue after a few sips and the sweet arrival from further sips aren't strong enough to tamp it down. I think that this one would be more at-home in cocktail that calls for a solid darker rum(it needs some friends to help sing the harmony). All-this-being-said, I'm still looking forward to try one of the "Forgotten Cask" offerings to see how this distillery does at a higher tier.
