Golden amber color. Earthy aromas of toasted oak, banana leaf, candied orange peel, leather patina, and copper pot twang with a round, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a peppery, subtle, long butterscotch, grilled vegetables, raisins, figs, and spiced rice pudding finish. A complex, funky rum packed with character; maintains a great balance between its rustic personality and sophisticated integration.

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.
