Bacoo 12 Year Old Rum (75cl, 40%)

A Dominican rum produced farm to bottle from fresh-pressed cane juice of estate-grown sugar cane, distilled in a proprietary column still of copper and stainless steel. The stated age is the youngest rum in the bottle, so every bottle is at least 12 years old, rested in ex-bourbon oak casks. The profile is Spanish style, with honey, vanilla and butterscotch, plus floral and fresh green-cane notes. Retailer notes add caramelized sugar, ripe banana, toasted oak and baking spice, with a long, smooth finish.
