Tasting Notes
"The rum barrel finishing definitely makes a presence on the nose, but it's more of a background note than hitting you on the fore. Malty notes play well with the orange, coconut, and a slight char smoke. On the palate, the body is medium full and oily. Fruity and sweet with that rum back note, the finish is a bit on the short side. But while Caribbean Reserve is present, it's pleasant. Try this in a Whisky Sour. "
