This nose is heaven. Molasses, bourbon, caramelized pineapple and banana, smoky charred oak, vanilla pudding, all relentless. Given the proof, this shouldn't be shocking but what is a little shocking is the lack of ethanol apparent on the nose. Beautiful stuff. This is definitely a bourbon lovers rum. I usually can't say that a nose as beautiful as this one transfers so seamlessly from nose to palate but this one does. All the beautiful, potent aromas from the nose follow through to the palate so well. It is warm, viscous, and mouth coating, with just enough burn on the end to balance the sweetness. Finish is actually quite dry with oak and tons of brown sugar and spicy cinnamon. Wow Amazing in all aspects
