Bronze color. Aromas and flavors of waxed wood, mocha meringue, dried banana, and sappy tree bark with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish that presents notes of caramelized nut, soy latte, char, and pepper. A soft and toasty dark Rum for sipping neat or in Rum or Whisky cocktails.

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.
