X-FACTOR
The judges found a black tea tannin that was unexpected but wanted more clarity of the spirits within.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, deep mahogany color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of Rum and cola with supporting notes of tea and citrus. The palate confirms the nose delivering a brown spirit-driven core with supporting flavors of black tea and candied lemon. The finish is sharp. Medium-bodied and favorably balanced with an opulent texture.
