Smooth vanilla and caramel meet toasted oak and gentle spice. Dry, medium finish. Well-regarded for balance and easy sipping, though the 40% makes it more reserved.

    Nosing Port, apples,oak , caramel, cinnamon and rum Taste Toffee, oak , smokyness , cloves and rum

    Loved how smooth this was. Very pleasant vanilla sweetness that was balanced with woody and spice tones to make a nice sip

    Dry, spicy, woody, slightly alcoholic, little sweet, bitter finish. Light red fruit notes (cherry)! Not for sweet rum drinkers...
