Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner
Amber mahogany color, with a robust and structured body and a grand character. Toasted aromas, with a subtle touch of cherry, coffee and dried fruits, deep notes of wood and vanilla. In the mouth, intense sensations that end with a long and persistent aftertaste.

This deep amber-hued rum offers a caramel aroma, with an intriguing hint of violet. The silky palate opens with caramel and brown butter, accented by dried fig and walnut, finishing long and gently spiced. Made with a blend of rums aged for 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks with heavy char, then filtered through onyx stones. That unique filtration may not add much except a point to contemplate while sipping, which is highly encouraged.
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.
