Imperial Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted: 4/19/2022

Country: Dominican Republic

Alcohol: 40%

Clear dark amber color. Baked, roasted, attractive, tropical, toasty aromas of raisin, butter pecan, apricot, and oak with a soft, dry fat body and a tingling, fleeting molasses, tree bark and bitter chocolate finish. A nice spicy and sweet well-balanced Rum destined to make a great daiquiri.

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.
