Neat in a glencairn. More yellow than brown, a toasty golden hue. Thin body but produces decadent, oily legs.
A punchy, agricole vieux nose. Spice tickles the nostrils, but won't force you out. Butterscotch. Cream soda. Baked pears. Turbinado sugar.
A viscous, creamy palate. Raw sugar, edging towards brown. Pineapple. Marjoram. Thank you reviewer: I would have never suggested sweet potato but it totally makes sense. Perhaps a relative of the cooked carrots I have started associating with aged agricoles. A vein of oaky vanilla. Candied walnuts. A very pleasant balance of sweet, tart, funky, and bitter.
Highly sippable, with lots of sweetness and character. Really enjoying this. Excited to try in an a mai tai.

@Thomas-C-Pedroni Agree. I like S&C but would probably reach for this myself as well. Good stuff.
Very apt. The tenth rum I’ve purchased, and newly my favorite. Surpasses the Smith and Cross as a sipper.
