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
"Notes of honey and molasses-cookies are interspersed with oak and tropical fruit aromas. In the mouth, the initial entry is quite dry and oaky, with vanilla, more molasses, a whiff of smokiness and a hint of hogo, a characteristic funkiness that some rums will show. The finish is quite dry and bitter, with a bit of cinnamon and a tannic sensation on the tongue."
