AMBER WITH GOLDEN GLINTS.

NOSE

PLANTERAY SAINT LUCIA 2009 RUM
EXPRESSIVE AND COMPLEX, IT OPENS WITH
BRIGHT CITRUS NOTES OF ORANGE ZEST
AND LEMON, INTERTWINED WITH RICH
DRIED RAISINS. EXOTIC UNDERTONES OF
PAPAYA AND PASSION FRUIT ADD DEPTH,
WHILE HINTS OF SANDALWOOD, CLOVES,
AND BALSAMIC BRING A REFINED, ALMOST
RESINOUS CHARACTER. A TOUCH OF
VANILLA AND PIPE TOBACCO EMERGES AS
IT AERATES.

PALATE

VELVETY AND FULL-BODIED, WITH
LUSCIOUS DARK CHOCOLATE AND GOLDEN
HONEY AT THE FOREFRONT. LAYERS OF
BAKED PEAR, CANDIED QUINCE, AND
SPICED ORANGE MARMALADE UNFOLD,
BALANCED BY SUBTLE WOODY NUANCES.
THE INTERPLAY OF CINNAMON, BLACK
PEPPER, AND DRIED APRICOT ADDS BOTH
WARMTH AND STRUCTURE.

FINISH

EXCEPTIONALLY LONG AND COMPLEX, WITH
LINGERING NOTES OF BANANA, LEMON
ZEST, AND APRICOT. A BITTERSWEET
TOUCH OF SANDALWOOD AND LIQUORICE
APPEARS, ACCOMPANIED BY HINTS OF
COFFEE, CUMIN, AND TOBACCO, ROUNDING
OUT THE PROFILE WITH A SOPHISTICATED
SMOKINESS.

EMPTY GLASS

VANILLA, TOBACCO, BALSAMIC, ROASTED
NUTS, AND DARK CHOCOLATE.
