Rum Sixty Six 12 Year Old Family Reserve is distilled from fermented molasses in small batches usually 112 barrels and tropically aged for a minimum of 12 years in small American white oak casks. Tropical ageing describes the fact that spirits in the Caribbean age more quickly than in Europe due to the warm climate. After 12 years tropical ageing Rum Sixty Six has a maturity and complexity comparable with European spirits twice this age. Awarded 'Best in Class Silver' medal at the International Wines Spirits Challenge 2009. IWSC Tasting Notes Medium to dark amber. Rich, aromatic nose with raisins, prune and some treacle. Slight vanilla notes and lots of wood. Big and full in the mouth with lots of rich flavour and mellow maturity. Fairly sturdy oak influence. Vanilla plays an important part in long lasting finish.
