TASTING NOTE
In short: toasted wood - nuts - maple syrup - coconut - salted butter caramel
The nose gives off alcohol vapours with fine notes of oxidised fruit. The toasted wood and roasted nuts are quite dry and almost charcoal-like. The woodiness is also spicy and fragrant, like cedar wood. The maple syrup is both caramelised and woody, and then a little freshness comes in as a surprise. It seems to come from the coconut and its slightly milky water, which leads us towards something creamier like a vanilla crème brûlée or a butterscotch.
The palate is soft and quite balanced and tasty. The caramel is rich, leaning more towards its Breton version with salted butter. The molasses covers a wood that seems more fragile than on the nose, the cocoa and coffee remind us of an Irish Coffee, renamed Caribbean Coffee for the occasion.
On the finish, coffee, liquorice and cocoa linger, with some vanilla at the very end.
ABV: 40%
