X-FACTOR
The judges loved the marriage of wood and Rum and at 21 years in barrel the wood notes are perfectly restrained and refined.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, dark golden color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of oak, molasses, baking spices, and banana bread with supporting notes of black cherry, fruitcake, ginger, and vanilla bean. The palate confirms the nose delivering a baking spices-driven core with supporting flavors of molasses, charred oak, banana bread, and black cherry. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and favorably balanced with a chewy texture.
