This is a blend of 80% dark rum produced in Guyana and 20% unaged rhum agricole from Martinique. The end result is a deep copper hue and rich, toasty aromas of browned butter and toffee. The palate opens with cinnamon, cayenne, mesquite and hint of tropical fruit, then slides into a long mocha finish with lemon and orange peel. Best Buy.

Dark amber color, with a spicy nose of orange peel; smooth and toasty with sweet, smoky flavors of molasses and brown sugar
Most often aged in heavily charred barrels for a longer period compared to other styles of Rum, Dark Rums are also produced entirely from caramelized sugar or molasses. This process yields some of the strongest and sweetest flavors that the spirits world has to offer. Dark Rums can serve as an excellent base for tropical cocktails, with the added spice and caramel notes casting an exotic edge to drinks like Daquiris and Hurricanes.
