Pungent rum and burnt sugar take the lead on this fine but well oiled grind; gently melting away to a rich rum and raisin essence – I can’t tell yet if my brain is fooling me or if there are hints of coconut milk and perhaps lime undulating from each bump.
There is a sweet smokiness which gives visions of early dawn beach fires where gentle breezes carry the warmth of driftwood embers and brine as dawn breaks.
I was also impressed when I reawakened the experience around an hour after my last bump by drinking a coffee; offering a slightly different take on the smoke and raisin profiles; a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Everything you mention sounds sickeningly sweet (rum, sugar, raisins and maybe even the coconut milk). Is it as super sweet like it sounds?
It’s sweet in the same way OFS is sweet, I don’t find it to be that saccharin type of sweetness but it’s also balanced with a slight earthy tone and sort of acidic bite which dulls the sweetness.
I’m not sure how to present it – but it’s not a candy type of sweetness and it doesn’t leave any nasty artificial flavours/scents behind.
