The Duchess, known for its exquisite and carefully curated batches, has outdone itself with this offering.

The nose is an intriguing mix of raisins, almonds, ripe fruit, licorice, and lightly burnt rubber, creating a captivating olfactory experience. Upon tasting, you are met with a sophisticated balance reminiscent of high-quality Caroni rums, featuring notes of licorice, burnt wood chips, caramel, and a touch of burnt rubber.

Its complexity unfolds over time, making it an ideal rum for those who appreciate depth and nuance. The rum's aroma reveals woody, burnt, and red fruit notes, while the palate is characterized by a harmonious blend of spices, caramel, and berries. The finish is long and lingering, echoing the rich, layered flavors experienced throughout. This rum is an upgrade from the previously released 11-year-old version, offering a more rewarding and intricate sipping experience. Best enjoyed after resting in the glass, it allows the intricate layers to reveal themselves fully, providing a truly sophisticated rum experience.
