Nose: Vanilla and oak dominate initially, followed by tropical fruit notes of ripe banana and mango. Subtle hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted coconut emerge. A slight grassy undertone reminds of the rhum's agricole roots.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Caramelized sugar and butterscotch lead, giving way to dried apricot and orange peel. The spice notes from the nose continue, with black pepper joining the mix. A touch of dark chocolate adds depth. The grassiness is more pronounced, bringing a fresh, vegetal quality.
Finish: Long and warming. The oak influence becomes more prominent, with vanilla and toffee lingering. Dried fruit flavors fade slowly, leaving a pleasant mix of wood spices and a hint of coffee. The finish ends with a subtle dryness, inviting another sip.
