Brilliant amber color. Interesting aromas and flavors of caramelized guava and tropical fruits, varnished wood, vanilla buttercream coconut cake, and toffee with a satiny, bright, fruity medium body and a peppery, interesting, medium-long finish manifesting notes of cola float, sweet and peppery spices, and sandalwood. A dry, earthy aged Rum for spirit-forward 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.
