Castaway Rum (80-Proof)

The color of this rum is reminiscent of a wellcut yellow topaz: iridescent and clean. The aroma covers a wide range of scents, including molasses, citrus peels, pineapple and a touch of clove.
When swirled in the snifter, the body shows a medium viscosity level.
Once in the palate, the rum opens up sweetly, charred oak notes emerge a few seconds later and then the experience ends with hints of nutmeg and allspice.
Enjoy this rum neat or with a single ice cube, paired with a medium-bodied cigar or a maple-scented pipe tobacco. This rum will also complement nicely an espresso and a slice of freshly baked apple pie.
