Dark amber with a dark copper cast. Full bodied. Reminiscent of marmalade, walnut, pipe tobacco, mincemeat pie. Rich, robust texture. Intense, yet mellow, as deep fruit and wood components surge. Extremely full earthy notes fill up the finish. A very complex, refined style. Savor this robust rum with a rubusto." 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast.
Very Smooth (on the RnD scale of Harsh-Smooth-Very Smooth-Extremely Smooth)
"A brilliant mahogany amber color is but the first clue that you are about to experience an exceptional rum. Aromas include beautifully soft scents of caramelized brown sugar that manage to intoxicate without overwhelming your senses, a light molasses aroma adds depth of character, oaken vanilla and notes of dried fruits (raisin, dried apricot, orange) are evident, as is a slight cane earthiness, subtly spiced with clove and cinnamon. Those wonderful aromas prepare your mouth for a nicely complex suite of flavors delivered in direct proportion with those your nose detected, but smoothed with a touch more vanilla. A medium weight body integrates heavy alcohols well into the overall liquor, allowing the flavors spread slowly and elegantly over the palate. The finish is substantial and charismatically long; cocoa adds to the complexity, with a lasting sweetness in the throat finally ending in a sweet dry spell that calls out for more."
