The Rum Mercenary Sample Seventeen Aged To Perfection Rum | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Warm oak, dried fruits, and vanilla open softly. Notes of caramel, polished wood, and gentle spice develop with hints of cocoa and orange peel.

Palate: Smooth and well-structured with layered sweetness. Toffee, ripe fruit, and oak spice sit in balance, supported by subtle tannins and rounded wood influence.

Finish: Medium to long, refined, and lingering. Soft spice, gentle oak dryness, and fading sweetness leave a composed, elegant close.
