A smooth yet complex, single estate rum. Made from fresh cane grown on the estate, it is distilled in a coffey still that is nestled amongst the cane fields to ensure maximum freshness of ingredients. Our VSOP rum is aged exclusively in slow-toasted, french oak cognac casks for a richness and depth that must be sipped to be believed.
Nose: Sweet with toffee, butterscotch and nutmeg. Vanilla, plums and figs.
Taste: Rich and smooth with dark toffee, honeycomb, hazelnut, orange and apricot. Subtle vegetal undertones.
Finish: Cinnamon, toasted oak spices and chocolate orange.
