Distiller Notes
Bright, layered and complex with significant nutty notes-indicative of long aging. Aromas of caramelized orange peel, apricot and brown sugar evoking notes of milk chocolate covered strawberry, star anise, cardamom and toasted hazelnuts. Opens again with caramelized citrus notes evolving into dark chocolate, fig and cocoa butter. There is a savory complexity, subtle earthiness with hints of oxidized wine, like a rich vintage port. Overall this is a lengthy yet soft fum, especially for the proof with elegant complexity.
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.
