Finish: Medium length finish, Vanilla, dark chocolate, espresso, black tea

Rating: 6/10

A very good, no frills rum from Cadenhead. You get bits of the various distillates throughout though it would seem to me that the Panama does the bulk of the heavy lifting here. The strong coffee notes come in suggest the Guyana influence as well. Not much else to say really, just a solid workhorse aged rum.
