’Indigo’ 8 Year Old Aged Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: El Salvador
Alcohol: 40%
Golden amber color. Candied aromas of cream soda, cake batter, toasted marshmallow, coconut flakes, and dr. pepper with a supple, bright, off-dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length caramel, candied nuts in banana bread, and hints of espresso finish. A sweet, candied and spicy rum that’s an easy-drinker.

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.
