Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of toasted marshmallow and cinnamon toast crunch with a velvety, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, complex, medium-length finish with touches of rum soaked dried cherries, banana walnut ice cream, and tres leche. A sweet and fruity Rum that will make a great cocktail and has the depth to be enjoyed neat.

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.
