The assertive persona of this rum completely displays the richness of the Venezuelan terroir and know-how of the consultants at Destileria Couch. Restricted to 22 casks. GSN’s Remarks: The Cognac comes by handily on the nostril, lending an magnificence and refinement to a barely smokey rum base. Notes of contemporary roasted espresso waft freely on scenting the glass. Taste-wise, this can be a powehouse of compact and deeply wealthy rum, with a shroud of wooden. Darkish chewy notes of toffee, toasted pie crust and full metropolis roast espresso bean are additionally given credit score. A reasonably lengthy end ends on a vibrant peppery word. As with nearly all of the Plantation releases, this one is one other winner. Seize just a few bottles when you can. GSN Score: A
