Medium mahogany color. Aromas and flavors of warm banana bread, cinnamon toast, roasted pineapple, and caramel spiced nuts with a silky, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, subtle, medium-long finish imparting notes of bananas foster, cinnamon butter on banana bread, smoky black pepper, and peanut brittle.

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.
