Crazy talk. You must not care for the cognac finishing.
Had a rum sampling at the house last night. Results:
Plantation 2000 Jamacia - horrible nose on this. smells like rotten bananas. It was very weird in that it would mellow a bit after a pour, then when I'd come back to it the smell would return. Couldn't get over it.
Plantation barbados run 20th anniversary extra old - the nose on this was better but the taste was worse. sort of rotten bananas again. not impressed with the Plantation family, obviously.
Rum Martinique - rhum agricole Neisson reserve special - this one has a sort of creme brulee nose but really lacked any sort of body on the finish. Might have been helped with an ice cube but I doubt it.
Smith & Cross Traditional Jamacia Rum - Pure Pot Still Navy Strength - The strongest of the bunch at 57% alcohol, it literally tasted like rum cut with rubbing alcohol. Horrible.
