Copeland Smugglers Reserve Rum (70cl, 40%)

Copeland Smugglers Reserve Rum is a blended aged rum from the Copeland Distillery in Northern Ireland. It combines heavy rum from Barbados with light rum from Copeland, in a 90:10 ratio. The Barbados rum matures in Kentucky bourbon casks, while the Copeland rum matures in quarter ex-bourbon casks and ex-Pinot Noir casks. The nose is sweet and fruity; the palate is oily with warm sweet spices, gingerbread and banana bread; the finish is warming with pleasant sweetness.
