The rum is crystalline and shimmers at the slightest provocation, suggesting good filtration practices.
Swirling the rum inside the snifter reveals a silky body that gently coats the glass walls. The aroma is very fruity, with a banana top note followed by citrus, pears, pineapples and the unmistakable scent of freshly-squeezed cane juice.
Once in the palate, the rum is not as fruity as the aroma suggested, nor is it as sweet, but it is balanced and smooth. It is smooth enough to sip out of a snifter, but could risk getting lost when mixed in even the most standard cocktails.
Enjoy it neat, with coconut water or in the simplest cocktails possible.
