Why Gifted Pour recommends it
For the rum lover who already keeps a few good bottles on the shelf, this one-time limited edition offers something genuinely different to open. Distilled from molasses in a multi column still at Travelers Liquors Limited Distillery in Belize, it spent 13 years in American ex-bourbon casks before two more years in Ferrand ex-cognac casks in France, and it is bottled at 48.3% ABV without added dyes. The nose leads with old-bourbon richness, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg, then roasted almonds, cocoa, honey and ripe banana. On the palate, citrus, juicy pear and caramel give way to coconut, pepper, cloves, licorice and a touch of tobacco, and the finish lingers on dried fruit, cherry, creamy vanilla and coffee. It makes a considered gift for a milestone birthday, a retirement or a promotion. This is the kind of bottle best poured slowly, neat or over a single large cube, and shared with the person who gave it.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The cocoa on the nose and the coffee and dried fruit on the finish echo the bittersweet depth of good dark chocolate.
- Roasted nuts — Roasted almond aromas and warm caramel in the rum make a natural match for a bowl of toasted nuts.
- Retirement or promotion toast — A 15-year, one-time limited edition with a long, intense finish suits a milestone worth marking with a slow, celebratory pour.
