Distiller Notes
A blend of 5-year-old Bajon and Guyanese Rum that rest for an additional 3 years in casks of 20-year-old Palo Cortado. Elegant notes of deep amber rum, with rich hints of pecan, vanilla and smoky oak. The palate is balanced with ripe fruit and tropical spice, layered over smoky oak nuances with hints of sherry and a tobacco finish.

Offers a strikingly rich and approachable nose. The bouquet of caramel cedar, sassafras cream, tangerine, and orange pekoe tea is exquisite. The liquid reflects the creamy nature of this tamed beast with a warmth and presence of utmost elegance.

This was aged for five years in the Caribbean and three years in Sherry casks in Spain’s Jerez region, hence the name. Look for a golden hue and vanilla and brown sugar aromas, which are echoed on the buttery palate. It evolves into a long spiced finish that reads almost like a lightly spiced vanilla cake, braced up with a hint of grapefruit peel bitter bite. Best Buy.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
