  • 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
    American oak, finished in peated whisky casks

Tasting Notes

"Lovely old rum aromas (orange peel, bay leaf, caramel and tobacco) are the intro, with a pop of alcohol - not surprising in a spirit bottled at 57%. On the palate the puff of sweet smoke and lush tropical fruits (overripe bananas, cherimoya) announces the Islay zip. Unlike the nose, very little heat in the mouth, instead an easy, creamy and generous combo that invites comparisons to smoked and dried fruits."
