Review
Clear. Minerals, orange peel, and cane notes in the aroma. Smooth and subdued first on the palate, then opens slowly with more mineral notes, some caramel, slight sweetness, and allspice. A bit of acidity balances the sweetness, then a nice, balanced burn at the end. A heavy body for a vodka, medium body for a rum. This is technically a rum, and the flavors and aromas bear this out.
