Ak Zanj 8 Year Old Haitian Dark Rum is made from 100% Madame Mueze cane juice, fermented with wild yeast and distilled in a Creole column still. It is aged eight years in Limousine oak ex-Cognac casks and bottled at 43% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. There are no additives: no sugar, no colour. The rum keeps a bright, grassy cane-juice character wrapped in eight years of Limousine oak, with spice and polish from the ex-Cognac casks rather than the force of new American oak. It is the entry point to Ak Zanj's age-stated dark rums. On the nose there is grassy cane juice, green banana and citrus zest, with toasted oak and vanilla beneath. The palate is lively but rounded, with baking spice, dried fruit and a touch of leather. The finish is warm and moderately long, with the agricole edge intact.
