Eminente Carta Oro 5 Year Old Rum (70cl, 40.3%)

Eminente Carta Oro is a Cuban rum made from molasses, blending at least five-year-old aguardiente with lighter rum. It is bottled at 40.3% ABV in a 700 ml bottle and comes with a decorative pendant on the bottle. The aguardiente is aged for at least five years in former whisky casks of white oak, bringing vanilla, light caramel and fine roasted notes while keeping tropical fruit and structure. The blend is 45% aguardiente. On the nose there is candied orange, light caramel and bourbon vanilla, with floral iris, quince and a hint of nutmeg. The palate is full and round, with exotic mango, liquorice and roasted spices. The finish is fresh and balanced, with apple, coconut and a fine smoky note.
