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
"Heavy and biting on the nose, seemingly not as thick as you would expect. Mineral wood and sweet spices open to a vanilla bean and honey base, with small hogo molasses. Over time, the spices open and start to move, turning lightly smoky and wooded. On the palate, the rum warms with spiced vanilla and is quite sweet with a back burn of small herbs, moving more towards tart in the end. Dark fruits, plums and cherries sit atop slightly roasted raisin toast with a dusting of cocoa then lightly smeared with golden syrup. The oak barrels have buttered the rum, giving it a drying finish of vanilla spices, wooded minerals and caramel fudge."
