Distiller Notes
Rested gracefully for at least a decade in oak, this rhum was allowed to naturally reduce and bottled at a higher proof. The resulting spirit is a boldly flavored, single vintage, aged rhum with tremendous body, redolent of crushed walnuts and pecans, pecan pie and brown sugar. The flavors are sophisticated, with notes of saddle leather, old wood and tobacco, giving depth to the subtle sweetness.
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.
