RUM NATION 5 ans 2017 Jamaica single cask PX Whisky Cask New Vibrations

Nose : Rich, deep. The medicinal first nose (ointment, elastoplast) is at once vegetal (sugar cane), vanilla (pod), empyreumatic (polished wood, glue) and terpenic (lava). Allowed to breathe, cane sugar, fresh fruit (banana, pear), spices (green pepper) and new fruits (pineapple, canary melon) literally surge from the glass.

Appearance : Or soutenu.

Palate : Lively, full-bodied. Exotic (banana, pineapple), vanilla, rooty (gentian) and spicy (clove, ginger), the attack is the logical continuation of the nose. On the mid-palate, sugar cane releases a floral yet syrupy and very fresh juice.

Overall : Long, well-balanced. While evoking a vanilla flan, the finish is also characterized by notes of fresh fruit (pear, Golden Delicious apple, white grape). The complex after-taste is herbal (lucerne), aniseedy, spicy (cinnamon, clove) and empyreumatic (gum arabica).
