Light amber color. Aromas and flavors of salted caramel, baked black cherries, honeyed figs, and roasted hazelnut and chocolate covered espresso bean with a round, dryish medium-to-full body and a long finish manifesting suggestions of salted caramel studded with candied black peppercorn, cocoa dusted candied walnut, molasses candies and maduro tobacco, and roasted hazelnut. A complex and flavorful Rum to have neat, paired with a cigar, or used in an elevated cocktail that calls for dark, aged Rum.

This is a blend of dark Bermuda rums, aged in ex-bourbon casks and loaded on to the M.V. Oleander , where it's aged at sea over 80 Atlantic crossings between the U.S. and Bermuda. All that rocking on the sip has created a ruddy hue and rich caramel aroma. The plush palate shows plenty of caramel, milk chocolate and hazelnut, plus a fleeting hint of red fruit and cinnamon heat to finish.
