Denizen 8 Yr Merchant's Reserve Rum

Jamaican/Martinque. Aromas of light Brown Sugar, Maple Syrup, and all Spice, with some light Grassiness. The palate has a light mouthfeel with a touch of caramel and clove. The Allspice comes back with some nutmeg and a little hit of white pepper on the finish. D&M Tasting Notes

The producer describes this blend of two particularly aromatic, intense rums as “unapologetically funky.” That's an accurate description for this amber-hued rum, which opens with bright tropical fruit aromas and a drying cedar-and-maple palate. Overall, the effect is that of ripe banana drizzled with maple and sprinkled with nutmeg and cayenne. 93 PointsWine Enthusiast, Top 100 Spirits 2019 43% ABV
