Showing off both the ageing and blending skills of its team, the Takamaka Grankaz expression brings together pot distilled rum from the Seychelles matured in medium toast new French oak casks and blended with rum aged in bourbon casks, as well as rum from the Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. Richly creamy, with floral hints drifting through.
Vanilla pods, honeycomb, floral sugarcane sweetness, cola cubes, and a hint of cardamom.
Wonderful - lived up to the description and then some. Smooth, great sipping rum and not to be wasted on cocktails. You can taste the oak and the bourbon in there and overall, it rivals our other favourite - Zacapa. We'll definitely be buying Takamaka again, even though we didn't win the trip to the Seychelles......
