An intense Rum from Barbados blended with reserve rums aged between 10 & 30 years. It has an aromatic birth with notes of caramel, oak, spices, fruits, molasses & honey, while a rich life adds notes of caramel, sweet & oaky, vanilla, spices & smoke; that led to a long & delicate death. June 2017 / March 2018
The upfront wood taste is very reminiscent of tamer whiskys and it feels like an old time drink. Whether you drink it straight up for that funky punch in the mouth; or you mix it with barely any cola, it feels much heartier than most rums. It’s damn tasty and worth trying.
