Rhum Barbancourt 8 Year

Product Description

Upon my tongue the rum feels mildly soft and buttery. In fact I believe I can taste butter alongside the light brown sugar. For spices there is only light hints of cinnamon and oak tannin which begins to taste like anise and orange peel as I let it sit in my mouth. The spiciness is very mild. As I let the spirit rest in the glass and then taste againseveral times I decided that it was a quality of butterscotch which always seemed to rise above the other flavours to dominate the palate. Bananas and a very mild nutty flavour weave in and out as well.
