Produced at the historic Long Pond Distillery, this 23-year-old rum is a testament to time, craftsmanship, and the unique climatic aging processes.
Distilled in 1996, this exceptional spirit boasts an impressive age of 23 years. Its extended maturation is facilitated through a combination of tropical and continental climate aging, imparting layers of complexity and depth to the final product.

This is later finished in a Ferrand cask, a special touch that adds the intricate notes associated with Maison Ferrand's renowned expertise in cask finishing. These casks contribute nuanced flavors and a sophisticated depth to the rum, making each sip a unique experience.
