This rum, distilled on the site of the Uitvlugt Distillery, bears the mark SWR (Skeldon William Ross) and is known for its surprisingly light structure, carried by the strongly toasted oak, which clings to the taste buds with notes of ash, black coffee, coal, and roasted nuts. Bitter cocoa adds to the taste, finishing with some sweet spices.
With aeration, the roast becomes more pronounced, revealing notes of coffee, black molasses, and heavily charred wood. The nuts carry oxidative accents, as in a Jerez or Port wine, leading to a dark compote of prunes and other stone fruits.
