The interesting thing about this rum is the way it is produced. The maturing of this Caribbean cane rum is divided into three phases. First, the rum is left to mature for 5 years in oak casks in Caribbean and then it is sent to Spain, where it spends another 3 years in oak casks in the cellars of Williams & Humbert. Finally, it spends two years in casks used for 20 years of maturing of sweet Pedro Ximenes sherry.
Thanks to all this travelling and maturing the rum has a harmonious taste with the touch of raisins and figs. Taste is very delicate, complex and warming. It makes a great digestive and an interesting alternative for cognac or brandy.
The only disadvantage of this rum is, that if you give it as a birthday gift, the one you give it to will not want to share it with you. My father and I had to involve a bit of pressure to get my brother to spare another glassful.
