HOW TO SERVE

Works well in a fun Espresso Martini riff, modern Rum cocktails, or substituting Rum in surprising places. Also try this lightly chilled.

X-FACTOR

The interesting and gorgeous use of wood is the real standout here.

TASTING NOTE

Brilliant, medium brown color. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of marzipan, almonds, and crème brulee with supporting notes of caramel, raisin, vanilla bean, and mocha. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a cocoa-driven core with flavors reminiscent of coffee, sea salt, apricot stone, and molasses. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a creamy texture.
