Tasting Notes
"Heavy and thick, treacle brims off the nose of the rum, swimmingly lazily through the air. Trailing slight spices of cinnamon, it brims with a burnt aroma and a green freshness reminiscent of its pre-aged days. Sticky, the nose opens over time with a minty display covering in caramel fudge tones, the sugarcane laden and brushed with honey. On the palate it is as oily and thick as can be expected from the nose. Trails of sugarcane and spices settle through, the vanilla and caramel fudge flavors interspersed with green herbs. The finish is heavy and long."
