Review #1354; Rum #657
This sample was provided to me by a producer, distributor, or some other industry source free-of-charge. No compensation, outside of the sample, was received and there were no strings attached.
This rum was distilled at a distillery in Venezuela from molasses, distilled on a column still, then aged for 20 years in an ex-bourbon cask then rum cask before begin bottled at cask strength with no additives.

A very good release. Certainly, barrel driven but there is some good base distillate that is able to shine through. A spice driven dram for sure, but those vanilla and sandalwood notes help to reel it in.
