Nose: Well, really very good indeed. Quite big, intense and pungent. There is plenty of cut oak (good old small white oak casks!), vanilla, honey, brown sugar, light caramels and almost a fat corn note. It’s quite bourbon’esc. Very spirit’y and solvent’y with some sort of polish or nail varnish about it. Underneath the big smells there are some dusty spices, turmeric, garam masala, lots of dried papaya and fresh mango. Going even deeper you’ll find some hay and over ripe, black and mushy banana.

Palate: Quite full but light at the same time, if that makes sense. Initial sweetness but very fresh, lots of vanilla and honey…yeah bourbon! Gets dry. Not so much oak at the start but the longer you hold it in you mouth the spicier it gets with plenty of ginger root/power, cinnamon and black pepper. It’s really quite Bajan in a way. There is a fragrant flavour to this that I can’t quite pin down, it’s a little like Turkish Delight and slightly grassy. Ah, vanilla again and honey then on to some tropical fruits.

Finish: Grrrr, a bit too short really. It hangs around for a bit to make you think you’re getting a nice long finish and just as you’re getting excited it stops dead, which is a shame as it’s lovely. Dry. Thick corn oil, some banana, light honey and a touch of menthol. No bitterness at all. When the finish does, er….finish, it floats off suddenly and doesn’t leave any buzz or off notes.

Good flavour, comparatively smooth at the price point. Good sipping or mixing rum. Also good straight or on the rocks.

herkomst: St. Vincent
fles: 5 cl
abv : 40%
kleur: amber
aroma licht. fruit, vanille, karamel.
smaak: zoetig en zachte rum met hout, vanille, fruit, banaan, kruiden als munt. Maar niet te veel allemaal, goed in balans, zelfs de alcohol prikt net genoeg.

Prima XO van ik gok zo'n 8 jaar oud en geen suiker toegevoegd.

Dry and Oldschool. Ive tried this rum numerous times now, and I still can't quite figure out if im a fan or not.
Very light golden color in the glasss
Nose: Very weak nose in general, but alcohol, vanilla is what comes to mind.
Mouse: Notes of coconut, leads you into a semi-dry and quite long aftertaste of oak, weakfish coconut (again)
Prizetag saves it a 7..
