Caramelized Flan comes to mind on the first whiff, while soft coconut notes and then the banana notes start to creep up behind the coconut with a slight minty herbal finish on the nose. On the palate, sweet caramel mix well into the almost hot chocolate like liquid that introduces the minty and cinnamon notes at the end that clears my sinuses. Finish is pretty short, but there is a hint of dark chocolate on the tongue that lasts a few seconds before fleeting. The finish is the shortcoming of this wonderfully well made rum, but overall my all time go to rum at the moment.
