Bhakta Spirits
1990 Armagnac Cask Finished Jamaican Rum
Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)
Date Tasted:
9/19/2023
Country: Jamaica
Alcohol: 62%
Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of roasted dates, bananas foster, Arturo Fuente Añejo No. 77, and coconut cream with mocha with a round, crisp, dryish medium-to-full body and a hot, intricate, very long finish displaying notes of espresso bean in xo cognac, pepper, sandalwood, and salted caramel, cherry tobacco with apple butter on cinnamon toast, and passionfruit and papaya dark chocolate ice cream. Don’t let the ABV fool you, this is as approachable and delightful as any high proof Rum can be; a classy spirit that will only continue to evolve from a little water.

About
Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)
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.
