(Bronze) Gold color. Aromas of marzipan, candied cherries, vanilla-almond bark, and gingerbread cookies with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity light body and a peppery, brisk ground peppercorns and pound cakes finish. A peppery, simple Gold Rum that will work in a wide range of mixed drinks.
NOSE: Apple cobbler with bakers' spice, brown sugar highlighted by cashews and cherry. Savory thyme and cinnamon balanced by coconut.
PALATE: Rich crème bruleé and molasses up front with dried apricot and pineapple, French vanilla bean reminiscent of toasted marshmallow, balanced by a hint of dry green olive midpalate. Peppery winter spice with a hint of mint on the finish.
