A superb-looking decanter bottle of XO rum from Barbados, aged in bourbon barrels before being shipped to France for a secondary maturation in Cognac casks from the Ferrand house. The result is a well balanced rum with a remarkably long finish, with a palate of chocolate, banana, coconut and mango. Now this is some very good stuff.
Hints of spicy oak on the nose, with guava, a little desiccated coconut and dried banana. Buttery.
Spiced, creamy palate entry, with sweet vanilla notes and caramel. Oaky spices.
Caramel. Toasted oak.
Outstanding best rum ever
I'm not a rum drinker, But I love this! It's awesome! Jimbob. ;-)
Started drinking it about 5 years ago very smooth one small Ice Cube
My father bought me this for my birthday! My first taste of "proper rum". Stunning!!! All I can say! I am usually a bourbon man, but wanted to try a decent rum. I was not disappointed!! Truely amazing, bananas and raisins, caramel finish, I mean honestly!! Think I'm a rum fan now. ?
I was pleasantly surprised!
