- Description
- This 2020 French Antilles rum matured in a Port cask offers an unconventional flavour profile shaped by the wine's influence, bottled at cask strength (56.2%) for The Whisky Exchange. Caramelised banana, mango, and pineapple lead the nose alongside butter and pine nuts, while the palate reveals cream, popcorn, papaya, and brown sugar with vanilla and sultana notes adding dried-fruit complexity. Rich and layered, the finish is warming and sustained. A limited, cask-driven expression for those exploring how wine cask finishing reshapes rum character.
