Tasting Notes

Colour:
Bright golden amber. A well aged spirit.

Aroma:
Sweet, molasses, honey with tobacco and toasted oak.

Palate:
Starts extremely smooth with a touch of sweetness. The tobacco is still present. The flavour is deep and rich. Finishes smooth with a bit of spiciness.

Notes:
This may very well be the best rum I have tried to date. It is ultra smooth with robust flavours and sweet tobacco like flavour. The flavour profile fits what I look for in a rum. Smooth to start, with some sweetness and a smooth spicy finish. What's not to like?

Serving Suggestions :
This rum is best served straight, or maybe with a couple of ice cubes. This is a well crafted rum and should be enjoyed as such. If pressed, it may make a good Mai Tai or other spirit dominated drink.
