Finish: A
richly rewarding long, lush and lingering finish, that highlights all the notes
that were phenomenally well balanced and delivered on the nose and palate.
Summary: A
deeply decadent and delicious drop of rummage from Havana Club, which makes for a superb bridging sip between the world’s of rum and whisk(e)y. Perfect as a slow
sipper and an amazing component in a Rum Old fashioned. If cigars are your
thing (Cuban of course) it also just happens to make for a perfect pairing!
