It's a great rum in the Spanish style. Medium dark with strong legs. Lemon pepper nose. Spicy and dry, without the usual oaky-whiskey overtones that most Caribbean rums get from their casks. I assume that this rum, or ron, is aged in barrels made from local hardwood. It's really a nice, interesting rum and worth finding. I've been asked to help judge rums at The Tales of the Cocktail by the Minister of Rum, Ed Hamilton. The competition is scheduled for mid-July. I'll post a report here with all the news that's fit to print. Dan
