  • Aged Rum
    Rum that is aged, but no specific type or size barrel required. No set time required for length of aging, but will often carry an age statement (which should be taken with a grain of salt). Often thought of as "sipping rums".
  • Cask Type
    South African whisky casks

Tasting Notes

"Waxy clover honey and orange blossom lead on the nose, along with fresh sugarcane and butterscotch. The palate is rich, with dark brown sugar, saltwater taffy, and peanut brittle, as well as bananas flambe and buttery graham cracker pie crust. The finish is big and warming, with oak tannins and spice, black pepper, molasses, and overripe tropical fruits."
