Review and Tasting

Sampled on 25/09/2012

Appearance

Clear, deep mahogany with burgundy red and gold highlights.

Aroma

Pungent molasses and burnt fruit cake, raisins, vanilla and mocha coffee.

Taste

Brawny, bittersweet, slightly burnt palate with crème brûlée, thick molasses, liquorice and hot spice.

Aftertaste

Lingering molasses, dark berry fruit, woody liquorice and clove spice. A proper Demerara ‘dark’ rum with huge character and attitude.
