"Aromas of sawn hardwoods, cigar leaves, milk chocolate, and chilli mingle with taramac, warm fruit, dried thyme, rosemary, caramel, and sweet red fruits. Stewed fruits, dark fruit jam, and stone fruit coulis create a rich palate with hints of cola nut, intense raisins, spiced honied orange peel, juicy sultanas, and creamy vanilla. The finish is hot, chewy, and satisfying."

Select Year

"Dried tropical fruit mix, tinned peaches, and apricot mingle with sweet sawn hardwood notes and honeysuckle. Lime leaf and dried lime peel add a zesty touch. Nectarine, peach, and light eucalyptus flavors emerge, along with a hint of bay leaf and volatile acid. Juicy ripe pear and satsuma scents lead to creamy caramel and baking spices, finishing with tart fruit and cask dryness."

"With a smooth and inviting character, this rum offers a delightful experience. A medley of dried fruits, coffee, and bitter milk chocolate mingle with notes of old wood, treacle, and fudge. Wood spices, cedar, and sawdust add depth, while hints jammy prunes and a rich sweetness create a balanced profile. The finish reveals rich currants, sultanas, dark chocolate, and coffee for a complex finish."

"Marzipan and juicy red berries mingle with raisins, complemented by a plethora of tropical fruits like lychee, melon, pineapple, and banana. Roasted nuts and integrated baking spice add depth, while supple wood notes round out the profile. An array of spices such as anise, clove, vanilla, mace, and nutmeg intermingle with hints of ginger and fresh, ripe fruit. Sultanas, dried apricots, and candied ginger provide a sweet yet balanced experience, reminiscent of fruit cake and ginger cake drizzled with golden syrup. The finish is slightly drying with lingering notes of pineapple."

"Olives and grasses mingle with dried rosemary, thyme, and a light lactic note. Some may find the lactic note off-putting. Sulphuric and fermenting notes mix with acidic fruit, artichoke, and vegetal flavors like briny olive oil and caraway seed. Lime peel and vanilla pod aromas lead to a thick mouthfeel with lime and melon notes. Red and black currants, citrus hints, and a farmyard aroma precede juicy red fruits, a herbal finish, and a peppery end."
