Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of grilled apricot, sesame candies and candied watermelon seeds, smoldering sweet grass, and bamboo and allspice with a round, lively, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish that presents accents of sweet grass and browning caramel sauce, cocoa pods, candied espresso bean, chocolate, caramel, and nougat, and papaya. Maintains the fresh cane and grassy notes balanced with baking spice and barrel char for a very layered and complex spirit for sipping or mixing.

Fresh cane juice rums are made with fresh sugar cane juice instead of molasses, but are not AOC or DO products, such as Martinique Rhum, Haitian Rhum or Cachaça. These are often of excellent quality with nutty, spicy flavors and a tangy finish and are perfect for cocktails or with the best examples, ideal as a sipping rum.
