Medium copper color. Aromas and flavors of honey roasted fruits, lacquered wood, praline, and conditioned leather and rubber with a satiny, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, long finish with notes of creme brulee crust, pink pepper, coffee and pistachio gelatos, and metal ore and tobacco leaves finish. A toasty, spirity dark rum that will pop in cocktails.

About
Rum (Aged 3 years or less)
Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
