HOW TO SERVE
Serve chilled with some dilution as this is a high-proof Rum. Of course it's superb in Tiki cocktails but this would mean losing the subtle flavors so we recommend just ice and soda or perhaps coconut water.
X-FACTOR
This is a special Rum worthy of a great occasion to given as a gift to a Rum enthusiast.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, pale golden color. The aromatics are very intense, offering aromas of marzipan and caramel with supporting notes of baking spices, almond butter, sultanas, lychee, and butterscotch. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a tropical flavor-driven core with supporting flavors of coconut, vanilla bean, apricot stone, and candied ginger. The finish is long and lingering with sexy wood accents. Full-bodied and impeccably balanced with a vibrant texture.
