Summary: molasses - caramel - pralines - toast - coffee - sweet
The nose of this rum is deep and very heavy. Its woodiness is full and heady, loaded with molasses and caramel. The nuts are full-bodied, and when combined with caramel, recall nougatine or praline. It's very pastry-like, not creamy or candied, but praline-like. There's a hint of orange zest in the dark chocolate, followed by freshly roasted, sweet coffee. A hint of vanilla crosses the nose from time to time, with a few whiffs of caramelizing pralines.
Passing the rum around the rim of the glass, the spirit remains the same, with a few gourmet variations. The molten sugar used to make the pralines is also spiced. There's a cereal side of toasted bread, or even brioche drizzled with maple syrup, followed by caramelized, highly roasted nuts. All these aromas are very full and heavy, and continue with chocolate, peanuts, coffee, milk jam...
