Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla cream, dried pineapple blossoms, baked orange and clove, and tropical flowers and bananas with a silky, bone-dry light-to-medium body and a long finish with accents of pineapple blossom and toasted coconut, vanilla, elderflower, and baking spice, baked red apple and pepper, and banana and jackfruit candies. Light and elegant yet exploding with fruity and floral aromas and flavors; a nice, casual sipper, or feature in simple cocktails that highlight the base spirit.

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.
