Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of rocky road ice cream, toasted marshmallow, and circus peanuts with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a peppery, agreeable finish with notes of diet root beer float, nut skin, cedar bark, and candle drippings. A mild, creamy aged Rum for cocktails.

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.
