This blend of 15 different rums of an average age of four years pours a copper amber in the glass. It noses of alcohol, wood spice, sweet candy, citrus (orange), and slightly of molasses. The mouth finds all of these, plus what I consider a very strong vanilla bent. So much so, that it nearly becomes the dominate taste. This seems hotter than you would expect from an 80 proof. The finish is slightly sweet and short.
