Aged RumRum 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".

Tasting Notes
"The aromas you get don't offer up much, but you'll find toasted sugar, under-ripe peach, and charred wood peeking its head in here. This char becomes more apparent on the finish. On the midpalate, the toasted sugar notes with that back note of the barrel provides a bitter and spicy finish. Not much going on here, and though the flavors don't taste bad, the rum doesn't leave you with much of a lasting impression."
