- Description
- This 17-year-old molasses rum from Fiji was distilled in a pot still before spending 12 years in ex-bourbon oak and a further five years in ex-American oak, creating layered maturity. The nose reveals banana and candied citrus with hints of fresh grass, while the palate delivers black pepper, caramel and toasted oak with a warming intensity. The extended maturation in multiple cask types produces a rich and textured rum suited to slow, contemplative drinking.
