Holmes Cay continues to bottle quality bottles here under their single origin line. These Traditionnel bottlings from Savanna, to me anyway, are in that classic rum flavor line. A bit of sweet, spices, and some nice light oak to round it all together. This was created by Holmes Cay to serve as an addition to creating tiki recipies. But, its pretty nice and easy to sip neat as well. This is a very good and versatile rum.
