A beautiful deep reddish brown color like cherrywood in the glass. The aromas are heavily sweet, with caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, oak, pecan and butterscotch, a slight hint of spice (mild clove and cinnamon), and an earthy essence like fine dried tobacco leaves. Upon initial taste, the moderately complex flavors remain composed and whole – in other words, the rum doesn’t dissect itself into its separate flavor elements like some mature aged rums. Instead, it presents an integrated flavor of complimentary deep natural sweets.

The substantial body makes it’s weight known from the first sip, as the rum starts at the tip of your tongue and sends ashore a wave of beautiful sweet caramel flavor before delivering a voluptuous finish that’s sweet with light milk chocolate, with lingering caramel and a bit of licorice, all well integrated and blended.
