8 Year Old Añoso 8 Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Panama
Alcohol: 49%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate graham cracker, vanilla caramel cream, and orange zest with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a peppery, interesting, medium-long finish with notes of cinnamon vanilla almonds, sweet tea, sea salt chocolate caramels, and leather. Fruity with nice spice and restrained alcohol burn for the proof; a little sweet and a little spicy way to end the day.. or start it.

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.
