    Real talk

    It is sweet. It is warm. It wears like a cashmere blanket doused in rum. The vanilla-rum interplay is not subtle, but it works. If you want restraint, look elsewhere. This is unabashed indulgence.Van Py Rhum
    Smoke and red wine is a strange combination, most compositions that try it end up heavy or disjointed. San Clemente pulls it off because the smoke isn't barbecue; it's ember.San Clemente
