Golden yellow color. Funky aromas and flavors of black strap molasses, grand marnier, tea tree oil, and leather with a velvety, soft, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a warming, distinctive, medium-long finish displaying shades of spiced pineapple skin, basil, green cardamom, and rye toast. Cerebral and nuanced, this is balanced from its funky molasses notes to its flavors of candied tangerine, cardamom and fragrant basil.

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.
