What Our Editors Thought
The nose is all rum—burnt sugar and oak with a touch of dry barrel character. The flavor starts warm and rich, but on ensuing sips, the dry and vegetal character comes through, leaving the pleasure of the spirits bar-rel purely in the nose.
What Our Panel Thought
Rich goodness on the nose: rum, but plenty of raisin, maple, dates, and plum. The taste hits those notes but adds vanilla and roast malt, plus a touch of black malt. The alcohol is warming and a little boozy without too much retronasal burn.
What the Brewers Say
Aged in rum barrels.
