The nose is sweet with coastal undertones while the rum cask influence introduces dried tropical fruit including banana, coconut shavings and Demerara sugar. The palate is gentle and refined: Molasses and apricots combine well with cured meats, tobacco leaf and old leather. The long, gentle finish reveals Caribbean jerk seasoning with cayenne pepper, cinnamon and black peppercorn present against a background of soft, smoky embers.
