The rum is a selection of 5 year old rums from copper column-stills, aged in ex-bourbon casks with an infusion of locally sourced chocolate instead of cocoa-flavored syrup.

Tasting Notes

"Most flavored rums tend to be cloyingly sweet and overbearing, but this one is well-balanced. True flavors of dark and malty chocolate fan out elegantly while allowing the rum-ness of the spirit to do its thing. It's a rare exception of a flavored rum one could sip neat, although it would make a fine addition to cocktails calling for chocolate flavors, or even a winter toddy."
