Description
Sumptuous, solera-aged Mexican rum with a captivating bittersweet profile. Finished in American oak and crafted for silken richness, it delivers layered fruit, spice and toasted-nut complexity—an indulgent sipper for luxurious gifting and late-evening sophistication.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Voluptuous aromas of caramel, vanilla and dried fruit with soft oak. The palate is smooth and rounded: caramel, coffee and cocoa entwined with peach, orange zest and gentle spice. A softly warming, medium-long finish brings vanilla, roasted nuts, wood and a touch of bittersweet molasses.
