Green Island Superior Light Rum 70 cl

Green Island Superior Light rum has been around since 1960 and to this day remains in the same distinctive packaging. The rum is made from molasses and has gone through a 4 column still. It is a blend of 3 and 5 year oak aged rums. During the ageing process the rum takes on a golden colour from the oak casks. The aged rum then undergoes a charcoal filtration where the golden colour is removed without affecting its taste profile. The rum is extremely smooth and has a lot of complexity on the nose and palate. Hints of grass, aniseed, herbs, coconut, chocolate, fennel and cane are just some of the aromatics coupled with a creaminess and subtlety that makes it unusual and yet a very impressive rum. Tasting note begins with grassy and herbal nose, hints of pepper and honey a little star anise too. Followed by creamy and tropical palate with notes of coconut, cocoa, golden syrup, lime and black pepper. Finished in long and spicy.
