Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of Bananas Foster, frosted banana cake, molasses, and cola float with a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, appealing, medium-long finish revealing accents of coconut cream and banana cream pies, caramelized nuts, cedar pencil shavings, and grilled plantain. A delicious lightly oak aged rum with cream banana and caramel notes, a hint of funk, and a dry warming finish.

Rum Aged 3 years or less

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.
