This aged rum from Cuba demonstrates the house style beautifully — balanced, characterful, and thoroughly enjoyable. It is the kind of bottle that rewards repeated visits.
On the Nose & Palate
On the nose, this rum opens with nutmeg, toffee, butterscotch, honeycomb, baking spice, toasted coconut. There is an attractive layering of aromas that shifts as the glass warms in the hand — initial impressions evolve into something more nuanced with each return. The palate delivers on the nose's promise with caramel, honey, nutmeg warmth, baked apple, golden syrup, vanilla custard. The mouthfeel is well-judged, carrying the flavours without overwhelming them.
The Finish
The finish is butterscotch glow, dried fruit echo, vanilla tail. At 40% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated — present enough to carry the flavour but never harsh or intrusive. This is a rum that rewards patience; letting it breathe for a few minutes in the glass opens up additional layers of complexity that are worth discovering.
How to Drink It
Beautiful sipped neat at room temperature. Also makes a sophisticated Old Fashioned, where the aged character adds real depth to the cocktail.
The Verdict
