Nose: A subtle smokiness with rich, dark fruits.
Palate: This is like a really rich fruit cake - lots of baking spices and fruit - with bits that have an almost burnt taste. It’s more rich than sweet.
Finish: Subtle smoke with fruit cake and oak.
This is delicious and my favourite rum so far. I’d love to know where the whisky casks are from - I’d guess they previously held Highland or peated Speyside whisky as the smoke is softer and doesn’t seem to add any medicinal notes that I often get from Islays.
8.5/10

I've been in the distillery and they said those are Laphroaig casks which explain the smoke
