On the nose it is sweet and slightly floral with notes of pine cone and sweet soft toffee. This moves into wafts of vanilla, just a touch of hazelnut and some oak spice. It's not a big hefty nose but it's got a really nice balance to it. It's approachable and there is nothing which is off putting. Nice notes of toasted pineapple and a bit of passion fruit also come to the fore.
On the sip, it is reminiscent of Chairman's Reserve Original but it has an extra layer of refinement and complexity. The entry has a spicy, slightly grassy/floral note which again reminds me of pine cones and a touch of potpourri. The vanilla comes through afterward taking you through to a mid palate which has a note of spearmint. It's very fresh with a spicy hit of oak and some tobacco notes. The fruity notes come more in the way of coconut and some banana. Baking spices and notes of sweet shortcrust pastry.
It is more complex than the nose and the intial sip might suggest. It is kind of a hybrid between the Admiral Rodney range and the 1931's. With a bit of Chairman's Original thrown in for good measure.
Further sips I'm getting some winter berries – Blackcurrants and some raisins and sultanas. There is a sweetness there which I think, is from the sugar cane distillate which definitely lifts this rum to another level.
The finish is better than I was expecting with far more depth and complexity. It's long and it fades out really nicely with notes of pineapple, banana and a rich vanilla custard with plenty of nutmeg.
