Trois Rivières 1999 Rhum Vieux Agricole

42% abv. Aromas of wonderful French oak, a hint of pine, subtle black pepper, aromatic cedar, butter, delicate baking spice, a hint of cinnamon, pecan shell. On the palate, a sweet caramel entry quickly gives way to a dry warm bitter oak before a nutty note develops mid-palate with spicy and peppery tones, fading into butter notes as the lingering finish fades. Somehow manages to be both delicate and full bodied.
