A blend of eight-year-old rums from Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Trinidad are blended with a high-ester Jamaican pot-still rum. The end result is funky and tropical, showing mild banana, coconut and baked apple aromas. The palate echoes that tropical fruit, leading into a nutty midpalate and finishes with cinnamon sparks.
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.
