This here is a molasses based rum distilled and aged in Texas by Treaty Oak. This rum was aged all 9 years in New American Oak in that hot ass Texas climate and bottled at cask strength with no additives.

This is a very good rum that is a dessert bomb (no additives though). Very vanilla and coffee forward with a good backbone of oak from that new charred oak. I know for some folks this will come across as too oaky especially on this finish but I like the sharp bit of spice it has on the back end.

Rating: 6/10
