Bonampak
12 Year Aged Gran Reserva Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of buttery caramel corn with peanuts and hazelnuts, sassafras, spumoni with pepitas, and polished wood with a satiny, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, nuanced, long finish revealing notes of cedar, sweet and peppery spices, and paprika. A long-aged Rum that will be a stellar sipper or high-end cocktail choice.

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.
