Butterscotch, oak and vanilla notes on the nose. First taste develops into more traditional toffee, followed by hints of bitter orange, almost marmalade. Not overly tropical, there is a dark chocolate layer in the back of the palate before it finishes quickly on a grassy tobacco note. Coppery gold in the glass with medium body and not overly sweet. Very well balanced, introductory golden rum. Cocktail or food match: This would make a welcome addition to a tropical rum punch.
