Its medium, relatively dry body features flavors of coffee, hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, citrus, apricot, and a hint of tobacco, all balanced perfectly with the sweetness imparted by high-quality American oak. This well-rounded rum is smooth and creamy with a long-lasting finish that offers a delightful blend of vanilla, velvety caramel, woody tones, roasted notes, fruits, dried fruit, and oak.
