Funky, meaty, overripe fruit. This smells like a whallop of pit bbq followed by salinity and delicious earthy sweetness.
The nose is spot on to what Id imagine for the palate. Sweet, rich mouthfeel that is a complete funk bomb. This tastes like I image the 1970s felt. Funk-o-rama. It is delicious though. The bbq meat notes pair really well with some nutty earthiness and a great apricot, pineapple, passion fruit toffee sweetness.
Long. Rich and complex. No heat, but the flavor lasts for a long time.
Goes deliciously well with pistachio nuts. Random bit of trivia there. This is an incredible bottle and I wish I bought many, rather than merely splitting one with a friend. The complexity here is out of this world and if you like funky rums, this is an absolute must try.
