TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: The nose of this HSE XO rum is remarkably rich. From the first whiffs, it unveils a symphony of complex aromas, with prominent notes of cocoa and mocha, evolving into more subtle touches of blond tobacco. These warm aromas are wrapped in an elegant spicy presence, dominated by black pepper and nutmeg.
PALATE: On the palate, the promise of the nose is confirmed with brilliance. The cocoa and mocha aromas reveal themselves with even more intensity, while offering a velvety and fleshy texture. The finely balanced blond tobacco brings an extra layer of depth, while the spices structure the whole without ever being overpowering. The balance is perfect, oscillating between sweetness and character, offering a memorable sensory experience.
FINISH: The finish is long, persistent, and enveloping, with woody and spicy notes that extend the pleasure of tasting. Subtle returns of dark chocolate aromas are detected, leaving a pleasant sensation of warmth and complexity on the palate.
