Description
The Rum & Cane British West Indies XO Rum is a fine, hand-picked blend of the best rums from the British Caribbean region, which is known for its high-quality distillates. At 43% vol. and matured in carefully selected oak barrels, this small batch XO rum offers a complex taste experience that combines the characteristic notes of the Caribbean with a fine spiciness and a soft, full-bodied taste.
This exceptional blend combines rums from two important Caribbean distilling countries - Barbados and Guyana. While Barbados is known for its elegant, fruity, smooth rums, Guyana brings a profound complexity to the blend with its heavy, molasses-accented distillates. Maturation in ex-bourbon barrels in a tropical climate intensifies the natural aromas and ensures a perfect balance between sweetness, spice and woody notes.
The Rum & Cane Regional Rum Range is distinguished by a rigorous selection of exceptional small-batch bottlings, which are bottled without the addition of sugar or artificial flavors. The British West Indies XO Rum is a perfect example of this philosophy: an honest, natural rum that presents the typical flavors of the Caribbean in their purest form. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Deep gold with copper reflections.
Nose: Rich aromas of tropical fruit, vanilla and toasted coconut, paired with gentle notes of caramel and toffee. A fine spice of cinnamon and nutmeg completes the bouquet.
Taste: Full-bodied and balanced with sweet honey and vanilla notes that meet dark dried fruit and a fine oak spice. Hints of cocoa, roasted almonds and light molasses provide additional depth.
Finish: Long-lasting and harmonious with a fine balance of sweet vanilla, spicy wood and a hint of caramelized sugar.
The Rum & Cane British West Indies XO Rum is an ideal sipping rum that is best enjoyed neat or with a large ice cube. Its smooth, fruity notes also make it a perfect companion for fine desserts such as banoffee pie, crème brûlée or Caribbean coconut cake. A combination with dark chocolate or roasted pecans also underlines the complex aromas of this premium rum. If you want to enjoy it in a cocktail, you can use it in a rum old fashioned or a classic Mai Tai to bring out its tropical depth perfectly. (automated translation)
