Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the friend who can never decide between rum and whiskey, because it refuses to choose. A Florida dark rum finished in rye whiskey barrels, it pours a deep mahogany and opens with molasses, dark chocolate and an undercurrent of rye spice, with dried fruit, oak and a touch of vanilla behind. On the palate, caramel, toffee and baking spice meet the bold edge of rye, while dark fruit, leather and a hint of tobacco add depth before a long, warm finish that echoes chocolate and spice. The Ernest Hemingway tribute gives it a story worth telling as you hand it over, which makes it a thoughtful pick for a well-read father, a newly promoted colleague who loves a good Old Fashioned, or anyone who treats travel as a way of life. They can sip it neat or over ice after letting it breathe, stir it into a Rum Old Fashioned, or line it up in a tasting flight beside rye whiskey and other dark rums.
