A 'double aged' rum, although it could be considered to be triple aged. Rums from Barbados and Guyana are matured for five years in the Caribbean before being transported to Jerez where they are further matured in solera systems of Dos Cortados Palo Cortado Sherry casks (exactly the same as the 5+3) and then also Don Guido Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks.
Vanilla, molasses, rich sticky dates and prunes, orange peel, allspice and clove.

Full of flavour, nothing more need be said.
This is so deeply flavoured. I bought a sample size and as soon as I can I’m getting a full bottle.
Lovely toffeeish beginning with a warming kick to the end. If you like rum and dark sweet Sherry this is for you. Perfect rum for this time of year, tastes like Christmas.
My go-to dark rum is Pampero Aniversario but that has become all but unavailable in recent months. Consequently, this has been a great find - sweet and smooth with the rich, dark fruit flavours I look for in a sipping rum (raisin, currants, fig) and a nice mouth-feel and finish. Pretty unbeatable at this price and definitely something I will be replacing (assuming stock are available...)
It’s took a couple drams of this drink to climatise myself with this rum. It is sweet and the smell of those first drams is very particular. But keep with it, the sweetness is obvious but the taste and smell does mature as you you make your way through the bottle. Very much enjoying it.
