Gold color. Aromas and flavors of hazelnut, butterscotch, cherry and peach infused tobacco, and baking spices with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish with notes of sea salt on caramel, peach, orange, and banana in vanilla and chocolate syrup, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and pipe tobacco. Barrel character but the cane flavors still shine and are all around delicious; rich, nuanced, and a real treat.

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.
