Rolling Fork
Heart Of Gold Small Batch Rum

Category: Rum (Aged 3 years or less)

Date Tasted:
Country: Caribbean Region
Alcohol: 50.5%
Medium clear golden amber color. Baked, attractive, tropical, woody aromas of red apple covered in caramel, cinnamon bark, kettle corn, and over ripe pineapple and banana with a full body and a warming, interesting, brisk apple pie, cinnamon bark (torched), coconut husk, and pineapple skins, scotched sugar, coffee cake, and paprika, espresso, leather, and and tobacco finish. Rich and sweet but not confected; lots of intense flavor going on that would make a great float on a Mai Tai or make a crazy fancy banana Daiquiri.

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.
