Tasting notes

Intensely aromatic and funky, a textbook example of Jamaican “hogo.” Ripe tropical fruit: overripe banana, grilled pineapple, mango. Ester-driven notes of nail polish remover and varnish in the background. Molasses, treacle, and burnt sugar. Warm spice (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) with hints of tobacco and leather. Bold and fiery thanks to the 57% ABV, yet surprisingly balanced. Rich molasses and dark caramel sweetness up front. Funky tropical fruits carry through: banana bread, pineapple, dried papaya. Peppery spice, ginger heat, and allspice. Earthy, slightly smoky undertone with hints of olive brine. Long and warming, lingers with molasses, oak spice, and estery fruit funk. A touch of bitter cacao and espresso at the very end.
