Tasting Notes
"The dark mahogany liquid provides an aroma of vanilla, prunes, and toasted oak. On the palate the rhum reveals the sweet vanilla and prune notes found in the aroma followed by toasted almonds with a strong pop of walnuts. An intense burst of anise manifests as the rhum fades with a woody and dry finish."
