Planteray Rum Extreme Series VI The Legends of Rum No. 5 St Lucia 2009 (700ml)

Tasting notes:

COLOR: 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 LICORICE APPEARS, ACCOMPANIED BY HINTS OF
COFFEE, CUMIN, AND TOBACCO, ROUNDING OUT THE PROFILE WITH A SOPHISTICATED SMOKINESS.
