Cherry notes with hints of cocoa and molasses. Soft tannins with great balance. Does not taste Australian (and that's a compliment) at all! Thanks to my Buddy John Pecallier for this one. One of the two best Wines of a 7 Syrah Fourth of July tasting! — 7 years ago

Not much of a spirits guy, but every Christmas I need to get a bottle of this. The fact it lasts the whole years does not represent it's flavour or quality. #havana Mixed with pineapple and mango. Brings back memories of the #malecon and #cuban sunsets. #copacabana — 7 years ago

Brown sugar, molasses, butterscotch, caramel, toffee nuts, orange peel. It's like candy. This would be great over pancakes or ice cream as well. Nice pairing well with Cari's tasty Pot de Creme. Thank you for a great evening and dinner. — 8 years ago

Beautiful beautiful stuff. This has a haunting nose of roasted berries, cedar smoke, potpourri, molasses, and sour cherry. The palate is seamless with perfect balance.. medium bodied but with a vigor and vitality unlike most other communes in the Côte d'Or. More cherries, herbs, and a distinct spiciness that I love. After it opens up, you get loads of cinnamon and clove on the nose. This really embodies the whole "dirty berries" thing that the Côte d'Or goes for.

If you haven't approached Vosne-Romanee lately, it's worth looking for extra coins in the seat cushions and saving up your shekels. — 7 years ago

Mahogany color with molasses, caramel, espresso, bittersweet chocolate and subtle baking spice aromas. On the palate it's full bodied, viscous, and very persistent with a supple mouth feel that's beautifully balanced with a penetrating acidity that keep it from being cloying and persistent with very good acidity that keeps it from being cloying and provides balance. It shows very sweet flavors of molasses, honey-dipped figs, dates, caramel, and baking spice nuanced citrus note with a kiss of oxidation that adds to its allure and complexity. Long finish — 8 years ago

An excellent rum from Nicaragua. The story goes that Nicaragua is active volcanically and much of the sugar cane is affected by the old lava fields infusing minerality into the molasses and caramel notes. In any event a lovely smooth rum. Will now work on the 12 year old! — 8 years ago

Would never have thought my 1000th tasting note (and 337 regions) would be a rum from Trinidad and Tobago. Quite pale for a rum with minerally caramel molasses notes. An excellent nightcap and a great sign off for my 1000th tasting note. Thanks for all of your Likes and Comments. Now for the next 1000! — 8 years ago
