Less rich and toffee flavored than a normal time. There is a fruity, floral elements to this that pervades the background lightly, replacing the smoke and sweet caramel. There is some alcohol flavor, but it's depressing with a nice fruity (blueberry?) characteristic. This is sweet still, but it can't quite get the quantity or quality of attention it needed regarding public equipment sets. The alcohol is quite present, but makes sense in a white rum. There is this bitter backing that is a bit much, but balances the fruit and sweetness nicely. The fruit tastes remarkably like apple and pear with a hint of orange. There's a little bit of nutmeg mulling the whole thing. Despite the alcohol and bitter flavors, the balance is quite good. The fruitiness is what really makes this successful. It isn't complex enough to drink a lot of straight, but it's a terrific mixer. The pear flavor is very appealing. Pretty smooth with a bit of spicy harshness.
