Altogether delicious. Strikingly sweet, and unfortunately so, given the wonderful concert of flavors beneath. I think it’s forgivable if one considers it as a digestivo competing with syrupy after-dinner drinks, but mostly a missed opportunity because I think this would shine at half the dosage.
Classic dark rum - raisins, orange peel, molasses, butter, baking spices plus a really nice savory character with thyme and smoky chili pepper (think poblano).
All in all, a nice decadent treat, but will be too sweet for the discerning palate. Best if viewed as dessert and forgiven its lone transgression - the rest of the experience is worth it.
