Kasama Gold 7 Year Rum (75cl, 40%)

Kasama Gold is a Filipino aged rum distilled from Noble sugarcane juice and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made in an agricole style, using freshly pressed cane juice rather than molasses, and distilled through a copper column still. After distillation it rests for seven years in ex-bourbon oak barrels. The rum has a bright, fruit-forward character. On the nose there is sweet coconut, ripe banana, warm vanilla and a bakery-like note, with cinnamon candy emerging as it opens. The palate brings pineapple, caramel, vanilla and banana, with a pinch of sea salt near the peak. The finish is long and gentle, with lingering vanilla, cinnamon candy and a whisper of white pepper, and a soft echo of coconut.
