Copper color. Aromas and flavors of molasses cookies, caramelized lime, toffee, and cherry cola with a slightly chewy, crisp, dryish medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long finish with shades of allspice and cardamom. A spicy Rum that’s lovely for sipping and even more enticing in classic cocktails.

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.
