Rich dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla, caramel, and toffee, bread pudding, baking spices, clove with candied black pepper with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a warming, subtle, medium-long finish with touches of toffee, orange and apricot marmalade, brown sugar black cherries, and brown sugar Pop Tart.

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.
