Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of nutella, mocha and leather, roasted red berries, and menthol with a round, dry medium-to-full body and a very long finish with accents of strawberry syrup, maduro tobacco, roasted hazelnuts in vanilla, caramel and chocolate, and bananas foster. With complex layers of roasted fruit flavors, this is just a stunning Rum.

Overproof Rum also known as Navy Proof Rum, is Rum in any style that is over 40% ABV (or 80 Proof) and is traditionally robustly flavored. Favored by British sailors from the early 1700s until the mid-seventies, it was often mixed with water to form a ‘grog’ to be drunk by sailors out at sea.
