Looking at its deep amber and iridescent copper color, it's clear this 23-year-old Rum is uniquely charming. Its nose teases with toasty, dried fruits and a hint of honey and toffee, while the taste delights through an evolving sensation of fruit, vanilla and sherry.
Aroma: The aroma presents subtle notes of dried fruits and sweet, toasted breads, along with a base toffee, fresh honey and caramelized sugar. Tou can also appreciate a faint hint of almonds and vanilla.
Taste: Having spent 23 years in the barrel, this rum is as pleasantly complex as the nose and aging would suggest, offering a rich evolution on the mouth–from fresh, sweet sensations to fried fruits.
Finish: Finishing off each decadent sip, you’ll find end notes that range from a distinct caramel, to sherry, to a well-balanced blend of almond and vanilla.
