The aroma offers succulent dried fruit and nut surface notes plus deeper scents of oak, black raisins, cinnamon, prunes, vanilla bean and honey. Palate entry is stately and semisweet; by midpalate, lip-smacking flavors of nougat, almond butter, molasses and Sherry abound. Finishes as elegantly and fully as it started.

Beautifully rich copper penny color. Aromas of caramelized nuts, tobacco, banana bunch, brown butter, and leather follow through on a satiny, supple entry to a dry medium-full body with great elegant depth and balance. Finsihes with a long, smooth oak and mineral flourish that practically opens the cigar box for you. A great sipping and smoking rum.
