I uncorked and he hugged me and surprised me ... and I don't like whites, especially those not even the least bit refined. Voluptuous nose of ripe fruit, don't ask me what because it's an orgasm of equatorial aromas, loaded with organic musts like the sweaty skin of a Creole, after a run between reef and shoreline, on a sugar cane beach. A first shy sip envelops the palate like a great traitor, with an attack of pear, ripe bananas and pineapple and coconut ... then the 57 ° explode in the mouth in a pungent riot of pure aromatic spirit and, I believe, vaguely bitter as a wild honey could be . Great characteristic, in my opinion, the ability to fascinate with tones saturated with fruit and THEN, only after a few moments, to open up in a sudden and indecent kick of pure alcoholic power. It is not a rough and tacky explosion, but it is a subtle and homogeneous "perlage" of infinite pungent reverberations. Never drank a rum with this power in stilettos. A couple of seconds and the tongue and palate absorb the degrees, however free of herbaceous ethanol that I have never liked in the Agricoles, and the whole mouth is greasy with a strongly aromatic caramel; I believe it is the marriage between the type of cane (Cristalline) and the selected yeasts that gives a characteristic sweetish note that is not medicinal, although fragrant; a second taste, after the soft exhaustion of the gradation between tongue and throat, reveals the undeniable persistence of almond milk, pepper and more banana. To want to be sophisticated, I also found sudden hints of chocolate. Great good rum. I don't know if it will increase in price, but if they decide to age it they could really get a masterpiece. As soon as you can, drink. And dream of the Sweaty Skin of a young Haitian ... 😎 Double distillation in discontinuous copper still by Muller, designed by Capovilla, 85% syrup and 15% pure juice of Crystalline canes from Sajous, in Saint Michel de l’Attalaye Farm, selected yeasts and wild yeasts. Port Au Prince by Real Barbancourt Family...but what a great idea from Velier.

Great review! I got to try it today and immediately bought a bottle. We're the only two people who have reviewed it so far, and it's nice to see that we were both blown away by how good this is
