- Description
- Takamaka's Grankaz marries Seychellois and Barbadian rum traditions, blending stocks from their own distillery with Foursquare's heritage in casks ranging from virgin French oak to ex-bourbon. Herbal and sweet on the palate, it balances vanilla and butterscotch against garden herbs and stewed fruits, finishing with toasted oak that lingers. The higher strength (51.6%) allows the full breadth of cask influence to emerge without harshness. An excellent aperitif or digestif for those exploring rum beyond single-origin expressions.
