Aldea 2009 Maestro

7,5:The nose opens with pretty varnished wood, with fragrant essences. It develops notes of tobacco, cedar and cigar box. It is a resinous woody, supple and tender, infused with sweet spices and dried but delicious plants (rosemary, pine). The rum is quite complex, it begins to settle on notes of dried banana and caramelized with honey.
The rest reveals even more tobacco, with sweet but full notes of wood and spices. We can distinguish a small roast, a heated and slightly astringent barrel, with tannins of red and black berries.
8:The entry in the mouth is tasty and relatively light from a texture point of view. We find a cane juice rum that manages to stay young. It carries pepper and mild aromatics. The woodiness is less strongly tinged with tobacco, caramel, we keep a fresher and greener vegetal register. The honeyed cane is adorned with sweet spices like cinnamon or tonka bean, very delicate, again red, black berries.
7,3:The finish is light, it rests on a slightly vanilla sugar cane, with accents of soft wood.

Not bad but not very complex. Not particularly sweet, which I liked. Relatively short finish.

very smooth/vanilla at nose, but different at taste unfortunately, strong taste of alcohol
