The now-classic Mars core range receives a particular three-year aging on the humid island of Yakushima. The 2021 version is surprising in terms of roundness and structure.
The nose is delicate and fragrant, with orange zest, gooseberry, yellow fruit, and white flowers. Hints of honey and vanilla, together with a mild costal peat. The palate is more intense, with peaty notes that intertwine with floral and citrine ones in a persuasive texture of orange cream with sweet spices and licorice. The meditative finish has notes of cayenne pepper, honey, and a touch of brackish frost.
95Among the rums tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
This list will be published in detail in Winter 2021 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
