    The "Sherry Cask Finish" rum from the Emperor distillery in Mauritius combines aged agricole and molasses rum with a finish in sherry casks. This amber rum delivers an aromatic mix of fruity, sherry, and cherry notes, revealing a sweet and tropical bouquet reminiscent of the Spanish-style rum. On the palate, users experience dominant sherry and sweet cherry flavors, along with subtler fruity and woody undertones.

It's best described as a rum suited for those who favor sweeter profiles with distinct sherry notes.

     Got this 5cl sample from the RR Tasting Club. The Emperor Sherry finished Rum is a a blend of aged rum made from fresh sugar cane juice (40%) and molasses (60%). This amber colored rum is aged in American and French oak barrels for 5-12 years whereafter it’s given a 6-month finish in sherry casks before bottled. Overall it’s quite alike the Heritage version, but with Sherry hints of course. For me it’s too sweet and I characterize it as a rum mostly belonging to the Spanish style.

     Jetzt ein Emperor mit Sherry Cask Finish. Das Sherry Cask ist auf jeden Fall in der Nase wahrnehmbar. Sher fruchtig in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls dad Sherry Cask und Kirsche deutlich zu erkennen. Außerdem leicht holzig.

     Unimpressive sample from rumratings. The sherry notes are the only positive mark for me…
