Nose: A fabulous and feisty fruitopia of banana bread, Alphonso
mangos, granny smith apples, lime zest, sultanas and right rollickingly ripe pineapple.
Followed by lashings of Ambrosia Devon custard, bread pudding, gingernut biscuits,
anise, cardamom and a tease of sage.
Palate: More full-on, fruit led action, in the form of peach and apricot
yogurt, Mirabelle plums, grilled pineapple rings, gooseberry jam, papaya and
bourbon steeped sultanas. Followed by banana Angel
Delight, treacle tart, grounds of black pepper and oodles of opulent wood spice.
Finish: A long, lush, sumptuously sweet, lip lickingly good
finish!
Summary: A bountiful, balanced belter, that serves as well as it sips! As someone who loves their rum as much as their whisky, I’m almost ashamed to say that this is
my first foray into all things Haitian - but what a rum-arkable way to start! I very much look forward to uncovering
and discovering more of Haiti’s rum based sensory stories!
