The palate offers all the natural sweetness of a rum aged in American white oak barrels that have contained Bourbon, we find aromas of soft caramel, raisins and brown sugar. Everything is balanced and comes to caress the taste buds as the tasting progresses. The finish is complex and suave with lovely woody notes, a touch of anise and dried citrus fruits (bitter orange peel, candied lemon).
