Tasting Notes
Nose
Powerful and aromatic, with notes of ripe tropical fruit, vanilla, caramel, and dark sugarcane. Underlying these are warm spices, oak, and a subtle roasted quality. The high alcohol content adds intensity to the nose, yet beneath that power lies a surprisingly rich complexity.
Palate
Full-bodied, powerful, and rich. Sweet notes of caramel, brown sugar, and ripe tropical fruit blend with vanilla, wood, and warm spices. As the rum lingers on the palate, deeper notes of toasted wood, dried fruit, and dark sweetness emerge. The 59% ABV provides a robust structure and allows the flavors to unfold over time.
Finish
Long, warm, and intense. Tropical fruit, vanilla, caramel, and spicy wood notes persist, followed by a pleasant, dry, and slightly peppery touch. The warmth builds gradually, giving way to a long, complex finish. Character
