The Rum Mercenary Extra Matured Special Edition 7 Armagnac Cask Finish Sample Eleven Blended Rum | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Dried stone fruits, raisin, and dark grape skins lead, followed by vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spices. Subtle notes of cocoa, leather, and floral brandy tones emerge with time.

Palate: Full-bodied and assertive with immediate warmth. Ripe figs, caramelized sugar, and spiced fruit are layered with oak tannin, dark honey, and Armagnac-driven grape richness.

Finish: Long, warming, and complex. Lingering dried fruit, oak spice, gentle bitterness, and brandy-soaked wood fade slowly with a structured, dry close.
