• Distillation process: Combination of traditional copper pot still and modern twin column still distillation, creating a perfectly balanced rum

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich oak, vanilla custard, dried fruits, cinnamon, and subtle red berry notes from the zinfandel influence
• Palate: Full-bodied with tropical fruits, caramelized banana, toasted oak, baking spices, and hints of dark chocolate; the zinfandel casks contribute red fruit complexity and subtle tannins
• Finish: Long, warm, and dry with lingering notes of oak, spice, dried fruit, and a gentle vinous character that elegantly balances the bourbon-cask sweetness
