Silva Collection #3 - SVN 2003 - 2025 - Réunion - 61.3% - 50cl

16 years of tropical aging then 5 and a half years of continental aging. Finished in ex-Trinidad and Tobago rum cask. Hello, lovers of thick, fatty, heavy molasses! Welcome to this world of empyreumatic aromas, stewed yellow fruits and caramel gratin, menthol, eucalyptus. The beeswax that covers our grandparents' old furniture, the humus of a forest on a damp autumn, a discreet alcohol of fresh green apples.  Over time the nose opens up to apricots, peach, nectarine, overripe papaya, mango.Unleash the beast, let it gallop in your mouth, hammer its hooves against your palate to savor this nectar! Fat, smooth, pronounced alcohol but deliciously integrated, ample and round. The empyreumatic is very present, the fruits coat the palate, then powerful notes of brine arrive, the fat of a Greek black olive. Charcoal notes of leather are revealed, the wood always present which caresses and brings a finish which lingers. Phew.. !The fat and creaminess lasts a long time! The TDL 2008 finish (Silva #1) reveals itself and brings this tar, this heavy and thick molasses, the twist of a rum from Reunion with the power of Trinidad!
