PL Galanes ALU 2022 (RotR25)

[Jackdani7401]

Paired with Flor de Caña - 7 year

Cold draw: Carmel and graham cracker, slight hay

1st third: Carmel continues with slight graham cracker. Mild-medium body. Burn was a touch wobbly. 

2nd third: Carmel takes a back seat to a more intense graham cracker and nutmeg and a slight saltiness. Solid medium body at this point. 

3rd third: completely muddled due to tunnelling and fought it till the end. Cuba being Cuba at its finest and disappointed as I really wanted to see what this turned into. 

I won’t reach for another one of these until later on in the year and hopefully it won’t be plagued by the construction issues like this one. 3rd out of this box, 1st with the construction issues. I won’t give up on this box, but am definitely looking forward to the La Corona box of these I have on deck next. 

6/10, disappointed is an understatement.

Don't mean to snoop but that looks like propane in the background. Living dangerously...I like the vibe.

Maybe🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s my 3rd garage stall with the deck furniture moved inside for the winter. About head height and on the wall to my right is an exhaust fan pulling air/smoke outside and I’m sitting directly under it.

Nice review. Sad to hear it didn't smoke as well as hoped!
