In the glass, the rum is a shining dark brown with a slight hint of orange/red. On the nose, sweet caramel is the first sensation mixed in with tropical fruit notes; banana and naseberry come to mind. This is followed up by a more bitter aroma reminiscent of red wine. That caramel like sweetness carries through with the first sip. The fruit flavours envelop your mouth and gradually makes way for a pleasant warming sensation punctuated by pops of dried fruit like raisins. The finish shows the clear influence of the port cask as the more astringent taste of the red wine comes through to play and complement the initial sweetness nicely, giving the rum an overall good feel.
