Golden amber color. Aromas of cinnamon, hints of anise, maple, lime leaf, roast plantain, and pickled pineapple with a supple, off-dry medium body and a warming, involved, medium-long orange marmalade, caramelized mango, and cola finish. A complex, palate-pleasing rum that will bring dimension to 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.
