Medium golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of salted caramel, warm suede, cherry cola, and vanilla and cinnamon with a round, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, delightful, buoyant finish evoking notes of caramel, baking spices, cherry cola, and maple syrup baked apple. Sweet, warm and earthy, with a nice fruit and spice character; good for sipping or a nice companion for a Cuba Libre.

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.
