Rich maple syrup, brown sugar, toffee and creme brulee. It’s sweet and heavy and rich on the nose - perhaps suspiciously so.
Moderate mouthfeel, tons of maple, honey, caramel, pepper and a fat bunch of pipe tobacco. Light oak, faintly spicy, sweet but not syrupy or artificial.
Short finish but pleasant enough, loaded with maple, dough, caramels and pipe tobacco.
Overall, this is a totally competent Nicaraguan rum and it’s pleasant to see both a real age statement and a lack of glaringly obvious dosage in this bottling as well.
