Sweet tinned prunes with chocolate notes, salted caramel, liquorice, coffee and vanilla custard</p><p><strong>Finish:</strong>&nbsp;Sweet and easy with a nice mild pepper to offset. The fruit and spice notes really last and that slight pepper walks with them the whole way.</p><p>This is a truly easy going and most sippable rum.&nbsp; Whilst sweetened – it’s not overly sweet, and the pepper really offsets that nicely.&nbsp; A very approachable rum that won’t scare&nbsp; a ‘newbie’ with new and unfamiliar notes, but with enough complexity and great balance to satisfy a season rum drinker.</p>
