Tasting Notes
"The aroma is bright with rum and dried fruit notes on the nose. It's got a soft mouthfeel, but the flavor is a little hollow on the midpalate. It's moderately sweet with mild oak flavors. The finish is short lasting and slightly dry with the taste much like the aroma with dried fruits and rum. However, the rum notes are dialed down to maybe a 2 out of 10 scale. Those looking for that rum punch might be disappointed, but the flavors should please the masses."
