Distiller Notes
This full-bodied rum delivers an intriguing range of aromas, from intense vanillas to faint notes of sherry and raisins–all built upon a notable undercurrent of roasted cane sugars. Expert blending comes to life with the first taste, revealing a deep vanilla flavor, followed by dried fruits, nutmeg, cinnamon spices and a hint of oak. Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry, and raisin.

Orange peel, honeyed oatmeal, and walnut are sumptuous on the nose. Notes of deep-dish pecan pie and brown-sugared peach surge forth on the palate as orange zest spices the silky mouthfeel, awakening the senses before a vanilla-oak finish. 80 proof.

Wine Enthusiast
A deep, dark, complex rum. Redolent of rich caramel and brown sugar on the nose and palate, toffee-like sweetness soon gives way to cocoa, clove, cigar wrapper and espresso on the drying finish. Sip over ice.
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.
