This premium rum also adds depth to spirit-forward cocktails and pairs beautifully with rich desserts or spicy Caribbean cuisine, making it an ideal choice for warm summer evenings or cozy winter nights by the fire.
Nose: Rich aromas of caramel and molasses greet the senses, followed by hints of ripe plum and cinnamon. A subtle saltiness emerges, reminiscent of sea breeze, alongside notes of damp oak and delicate red flower petals.
Palate: Smooth and velvety on the tongue, with prominent flavors of maple syrup and quince. Prune and honey sweetness balances nicely against warm baking spices like clove. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, lending a pleasant woodiness to the overall taste.
Finish: Medium to long finish with lingering notes of caramel and dried fruit. A slight warmth from the alcohol remains, accompanied by a subtle spiciness that slowly fades. The aftertaste is clean and balanced, leaving a pleasant memory of the rum's complex flavors.
