Kara Newman’s description captures the essence of this rum impeccably. With its inviting murky amber hue, the rum emanates rich aromas of maple and allspice, promising a delightful experience. Upon the palate, one is greeted by the luscious flavors of maple sugar, cocoa, and hazelnut, which gradually give way to a lively finish punctuated by notes of black pepper, ginger, and a subtle cayenne zing. The finishing touch of ex-sherry casks adds depth and complexity to the overall profile. As suggested by the producer, mixing this rum in a highball with coconut water would undoubtedly enhance its already exceptional qualities.
