Yolo Gold 10-Year

Another fine presentation of how rum should be! Rum Master Don Pancho Fernandez and his Cuban influence, has produced a wonderful rum that has earned numerous awards. This rum is smooth and flavorful which gets most of its complexity from being aged for 10years in charred American oak barrels!
This is meant to be enjoyed straight and savored slowly!

First sip took me back to my recent trip to Cuba!
It's nice to have a dark Rum with flavor but not overwhelming nor spiced.
perfect subtle vanilla molasses oak - I normally just sip it straight from a shot glass, but works well in Coke too.

Another decent rum, nothing spectacular but not bad.

Saw this bottle at a local store and looked it up to see how it was rated. Only finding one rating I was dubious, but thought the risk was worth it seeing how the other rating was done by a very experienced rum advocate. Not overly expensive, it’s a great example of what a smooth and flavorful rum should taste like drinking it neat. Gets better the longer it sits.
