Bronze color. Confected aromas and flavors of brach’s caramel cherry, fruit cake, buttercream frosted banana cake, and orange marmalade with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish manifesting accents of spumoni gelato and vanilla almond milk. A very attractive, if a bit confected, crowd pleasing fruity Rum for carefree sipping and cocktails.

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.
