Clear. Flowers in the nose, with a hint of almonds and falernum. Very clean on the palate. A velvety mouth-feel leads to subtle sake and sugarcane note. Yes, I said sake. Ends with a crisp finish that draws out for 30 seconds or so. Very smooth, but with underlying complexity. Nice. Tasted 6/26/2006.

Description


"Matusalem Platino, a premium white rum, is a unique blend of triple-distilled, hand-crafted spirits, joined in a special process, and filtered and refined to create a rum of exceptionally clean taste, delicate balance and subtle flavor...

"Color: Platino is crystal clear and clean. It is light and dry. The rum style of choice for those who enjoy rums steeped in Cuban tradition. This traditional spirit is continuous-distilled in barrel-aged oak bourbon barrels.

"Nose: Platino offers an alluring bouquet that is subtly perfumed with floral aromas.

"Taste: On the palate, Platino rum enters softly, then steadily grows in intensity and heat. It is essentially dry, with a slight trace of sweetness and a delicate fruity, but subtle, array of flavors.

"Finish: The finish on Platino is medium-length with delicately sweet molasses-based notes." - From the manufacturer's website.
