Rich and fruity tawny port sits beautifully with aged rhum agricole in this spirit-forward late-night sipper.

The agricole rhum tames the sweetness of the port perfectly.

This was perfect. Used a Rhum Barbancourt 8 year. The ingredients blend well together. I could see this either before or after dinner. Great all around.

Great late night sipper. I used 7yo Cuban Rum, but surely will try it with Rhum agricole.
