The Nicaragua rum cask choice was interesting but turned out to not be great for the alcohol as it dominates and make the dram either too sweet, bitter, spicy, or a combination of them all
Nose
The 5 year spent in a rum cask definitely shows with the sweet tropical fruity notes, creamy, herbal, vanilla, orchards, woody
Body
Definitely a very sweet dram, like cane sugar sweet, overripe tropical fruits, peppery, coconut, vanilla, slightly creamy With water there is still a lingering bitterness, the oiliness & spiciness becomes more prominent, definitely not a dram that gets better with water
Finish
Long finish, oaky & nutty, bitter
