Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of dark caramelized pecans, tobacco, and herbed brown butter with a silky, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish that shows overtones of roasted coconut, creme brulee, and dried tropical fruits. A very well balanced aged Rum sipper, or enjoy in an elevated Rum cocktail.

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.
