I can smell hints of vanilla and raisins above my glass and also another minor flavour I am not able to identify quite clearly. The taste is very smooth and offers balance between oaky impression of aged rum and somewhat fresher note reminding me of Saint James Royal Ambre or other solid younger rums, but I am not saying it is an agricole. Quite sweet but nothing drastic, finish is warm and quite long, there is just ever so slight alcohol aftertaste which appeared like once, other than that perfect experience. Haven't even considered the price yet.
Btw this is incredible for Cuba libre as the cocktail smells like honeybees wax in a pleasant manner :D
