Tasting Notes
Appearance
Rich mahogany with deep amber tones, complemented by an olive green ageing halo at the rim that reflects the rum's extensive maturation and complexity.
Aroma
The nose unfolds with elegant floral notes that evolve into a complex, mature character featuring deep vanilla, toasted nuts, and warm spices. Hints of orange peel, nutmeg, rich coffee, and dark cocoa add layers of sophistication, whilst the limestone-filtered Jamaican water contributes remarkable purity and balance to the aromatic profile.
Palate
The palate delivers exceptional depth and complexity with flavours of vanilla, caramel, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices. The tropical ageing imparts unique richness whilst maintaining elegant balance, with a delicate sweetness that remains understated and refined. The finish is long and dry with lingering notes of oak, spice, and subtle sweetness, showcasing the masterful blending of rums aged for over two decades.
Pairs With
This distinguished rum is best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate its complexity, and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate truffles, espresso, aged cigars, crème brûlée, sticky toffee pudding, mature cheddar, and rich desserts featuring caramel or coffee notes.
