From the renowned Destilerias Unidas S. A. (DUSA) distillery in Venezuela, the Botucal 2001 Single Vintage Sherry Cask Finish is a masterfully crafted rum that appeals to connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.

The finish is long-lasting, offering lingering notes of toffee, oak, vanilla, and a balanced spiciness.
