Gold color. Aromas and flavors of caramelized banana, brown sugar, vanilla pralines, and cherry and baking spice pipe tobacco with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a warming, layered, medium-length finish with notes of chocolate covered orange zest, salted caramel, brandied cherry, and cinnamon and vanilla praline. A beautiful aged Rum that still shows the rich character of the cane spirits balanced against lovely barrel spices.

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.
