Tasting Notes
Appearance
Dark amber with glowing mahogany highlights and rich, lingering legs that hint at its silky texture.
Nose
Enticing aromas of honeyed raisins, vanilla, tobacco, and toasted oak, enriched with baking-spice warmth, chocolaté undertones, and crème brûlée creaminess.
Palate
Smooth and balanced, beginning with decadent brown sugar sweetness, evolving into creme brûlée and toffee, then unfolding caramel, banana, and gentle tropical spice.
Finish
A complex, lingering close infused with well-integrated oak, tobacco, tropical spice, and a warm caramel glow.
Balanced and versatile flavour profile that's rich enough for neat sipping, yet expressive in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, El Presidente, or Cable Car. A rum with an approachable complexity offering luxury without excess. |
