Review and Tasting

Sampled on 25/06/2021

Appearance:

Clear, deep amber with polished bronze highlights.

Aroma:

Vanilla, coconut, mocha coffee, molasses, honey and cinnamon with hints of maple syrup, grilled almond and black pepper spice. Woody rather than fruity.

Taste:

Medium to full-bodied and dry but with faint sweet fudge and honey. Flavours of butterscotch, light chocolate, mocha coffee, vanilla and walnut.

Aftertaste:

Lengthily, cinnamon spice, burnt caramel and chocolate fudge with lingering cinnamon, orange zest and black pepper spice.

Overall:

A relatively light rum heavily loaded with vanilla and nutty chocolate fudge notes from lengthy Caribbean ageing.
