Golden amber color. Inviting, candied aromas and flavors of grilled plantain, caramel toasted almonds, snuffed candle, and dried banana and toasted oak with a round, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, nuanced, medium-long finish displaying notes of lightly smoked caramelized apple, tanned leather and walnut, golden raisins and dried plums, and shortbread. Perfect with a cigar or a single ice cube, this satisfying, lightly smoky rum finishes with warm raisins and dried plums.
