Exotic undertones of papaya and passionfruit add depth, while hints of sandalwood, cloves and balsamic bring a refined, almost resinous character. A touch of vanilla and pipe tobacco emerges as the rum aerates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Velvety and full bodied, with luscious dark chocolate and golden honey at the forefront. Layers of baked pear, candied quince and spiced orange marmalade unfold, balanced by subtle woody nuances. The interplay of cinnamon, black pepper and dried apricot adds both warmth and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Exceptionally long and complex with lingering notes of banana, lemon zest and apricot. A bittersweet touch of sandalwood and liquorice appears accompanied by hints of coffee, cumin and tobacco, rounding out the profile with a sophisticated smokiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Identity Drinks Brands LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55672015290744,"sku":"RUMS216371","price":161.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/6048\/2912\/files\/RUMS216371.png?v=1790005045","url":"https:\/\/latitudewine.co.uk\/products\/planteray-saint-lucia-2009-extreme-series-vi-legends-of-rum","provider":"Latitude Wine \u0026 Liquor Merchant ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
