On the palate, it delivers a balanced, sweet, and intense experience with flavors of ester and tropical fruit.

The nose of this rum is surprisingly smooth given its high alcohol content, rich with a complex interplay of aromas. Prominent Jamaican banana is complemented by notes of olive and artichoke, balanced and enhanced by a spicy nutmeg-infused honey coating. Woody notes add a touch of elegance, resulting in a polished and refined overall impression. Swirling the rum releases a burst of power, followed by more delicate notes of peppercorns, wood, and curry spices. The olive and lemon flavors become more pronounced, taking on a confit-like quality.
The entry is surprisingly gentle, with a tingling sensation that follows on the tongue, reminiscent of a blend of Indian spices. Roasted peanuts introduce a phase of intense fruitiness, presenting a variety of plums from mirabelles to prunes. This fruitiness transitions to a dry finish, with notes of cocoa and toasted bread. Finally, fermentation notes return, with the olive note particularly prominent, evoking the aroma of pickles.
