The production begins with two distinct rum bases: one distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and another from molasses. Each base is aged independently for one to two years in ex-bourbon casks, allowing the individual characters to develop before the rums are blended together and given an additional marrying period. The final step—charcoal filtration—strips away heavier color compounds while preserving the complexity gained during barrel aging, resulting in a clear spirit with more depth than a typical unaged white rum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose is subdued and clean, opening with light charcoal and tobacco leaf before settling into soft vanilla.
