JAMAICA 32 ans 1990 HD C<>H The Colours of Rum Impressions New Vibrations W. S.

Nose : Refined, smooth. Moving between notes of hydrocarbon, agave and ripe banana, the first nose develops into medicinal (balm) and syrupy (cane sugar, juicy pear) registers. Allowed to breathe, a hint of camphor and a handful of spices (ginger, clove) invigorate the aroma palette.

Appearance : Or pâle.

Palate : Lively yet smooth. On the attack, the nose’s empyreumatic character becomes more assertive. More milky (coconut, almond) and tangy, the mid-palate brings pineapple flavours. The end of the palate is equipped with a pleasant rooty bitterness (gentian).

Overall : Long, fresh. The vegetal finish (sugar cane) has a slightly coarse texture (artichoke heart). Very quickly, the after-taste takes tarmacked paths. The end of the finish is both silky (cotton wool) and medicinal (ointment).
