Santos Dumont XO

7,8:On the nose it is sweet with notes of vanilla, butterscotch toffee and maple syrup all bursting up. After the airing oak spice pushes through the toffee sweetness. There are other sweet notes of candied oranges and canned apricots. Coconut and some ripe banana finally appear. The nose notes are quite enticing, let 's see how this sweetness will play out through palate.
7:On the palate we catch some heated alcohol and wood spice. There is also some maple sweetness, quite tasty, but soon it overpowers the whole rum. There are peppery oak spice, maple, honey and apricot jam and pineapple.In the end, the rum becomes woody.The roundedness is almost gone here. When we put the rum in the fridge, the touch of sweetness abates and becomes more sippable.
7,2:The finish is sweet, quite rounded, probably due to added sweetness. Sweet butterscotch and maple combined with oak and oak are tasted. Baking spice, honey and cinnamon linger on.

Was a bit worried, since it's not the cheapest bottle and the reviews are a bit mixed. However, I was pleasantly surprised as this rum is one of the best rums I have tried. I am a big fan of 1888 but I can say this one topped it. Definitely worth the price. Hopefully I can score another bottle. The cocoa flavor is not at all overwhelming, there is only hints, which add to its personality. It quite dry and not at all sweet, so don't buy it if you prefer rums on the sweeter side.

Spicy smell. Bit of a stronger taste. Burns a bit.

Marzipan, caramel and citrus touch in aroma; caramel, cream, hazelnuts, cinnamon and spices. tail almost absent.

Le nez et le goût sont fort mais agréable en Bourbon. Excellent
