Rich bronze color. Aromas and flavors of maple cream nougat, bananas foster with a scorched caramel sauce, dried red fruits like figs and prunes, and coconut cream with a glycerous, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long finish revealing touches of chocolate covered toasted marshmallow, sweet mocha syrup, maduro tobacco, and dried herbs. A rich, dark Rum with bold notes of caramelized pastries.

Aged Fresh Cane Juice Rum

These are often of excellent quality with nutty, spicy flavors and a tangy finish and are perfect for cocktails or with the best examples, ideal as a sipping rum.
