Sight: The contact with the wood gives the rum a natural dark amber tone, which is both intense & brilliant. Nose: Its aroma has notes of vanilla, oak & a touch of burnt wood with a hint of molasses, which helps build the character of this exceptional rum. Taste: It is deliciously smooth in the mouth with the elegance & complexity of an ancient Cognac. These notes give way to warm tannins & a lingering mahogany & fig finish with notes of apricot. From the very first sip of this elixir, a warm wave flows to the heart where the spirit of a great rum is meant to be felt!
