Double Aged Port Cask Finished Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Puerto Rico
Alcohol: 40%
Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of roasted coconut butter, kola nut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and all spice with a round, dryish medium body and a long finish conveying notes of gingersnap cookies with fresh coconut shavings, walnut paste and black tea, bitter cocoa, and dates and figs. Smells and tastes of many seasons of extended aging; pour over a single ice cube on a warm summer evening and let this Rum unfold for an hour or so.

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.
