Bayou
Mardi Gras XO Single Batch Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 40%
Medium copper color. Aromas and flavors of brown butter cake, chocolate and cinnamon, chocolate orange peel, and maduro cigar with a satiny, dryish medium-to-full body and a long finish with nuances of vanilla, brown sugar and baking spices, chocolate covered brandied cherries, and cascara. Rich and flavorful, this Rum is so complex but so approachable; the perfect companion for a full bodied cigar on a warm summer evening.
