Review from bourbonv (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1534, Created:20090414193635) | Purchased at: | sample from Dumpbucket | | Info on this bottle: | sample from Dumpbucket | | Nose: | You can tell that this is not a whiskey but a rum. The nose has that cane sugar sweetness of rum with a hint of caramel and vanilla from the barrel (orcaramel coloring). Not a complex nose, but not offensive either. | | Taste: | There is a tropical fruit sweetness (mangos?) with some nutty flavors and the rum sweet molasses. There is only a quick burst of unpleasant, medicine taste but it improves with the finish. | | Finish: | I actually like this finish. It is a bit cane sugar with topical fruit. It is lingering in a good way. | | Overall: | I would drink this if they could just get rid of that bitter medicine flavor at the start. I would think mixing in a tropical cocktail might cure that. |

Review from Dump Bucket (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1517, Created:20090307212332, Updated:20090307213030) View discussion on this review.
| Purchased at: | Hawaii, Oahu | | Purchased for: | $25 I think | | Info on this bottle: | 375 ml - It is the one in the picture | | Nose: | Butterscotch, sweetness like caramelized sugar and some faint cinnamon. Over time a nice maple, like fresh maple, is apparent.
There is just a touch of oak with just a full nose of vanilla over the entire life of the nose.
I want to say there is a cr??me??? brulee quality to this??? | | Taste: | Vanilla and butter / butter scotch with a little raw almonds and macadamia nuts.
There is a very little touch of aluminum and citrus (tangelos, faint, but there).
As time passes the citrus is more prominent. | | Finish: | Some age in the finish. I can tell this has sat on a shelf for a while.
The dominant is butter/butterscotch and vanilla with a very faint hint of oak at the end.
Also after about 30-40 seconds there is a little citrus that pops up??? really nice compilations of components. | | Overall: | This is a fun drink. I plan on having some tonight and looking at these notes again. I did these in October and was waiting for it to be added. |
