Copper color. Aromas and flavors of toffee, soy, bbq dry rub, cinnamon and dark chocolate, singed caramel sauce, and baking spices and soy sauce with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a peppery, medium-long finish imparting notes of toffee cake, cinnamon and caramel, baked red fruit, and cinnamon crusted pecans. This sweet pastry laden gem seems designed for usage in Tiki applications.

Overproof Rum also known as Navy Proof Rum, is Rum in any style that is over 40% ABV (or 80 Proof) and is traditionally robustly flavored. Favored by British sailors from the early 1700s until the mid-seventies, it was often mixed with water to form a ‘grog’ to be drunk by sailors out at sea.
