Denizen Merchant Reserve 8 Yr Rum

Centuries ago, when the merchants of Amsterdam sailed home from their long arduous journey through the Caribbean trade routes, they discovered that barrels of rum on their ships took on a richer flavor and aroma from what they had tasted at the inset. These Dutch merchants began to experiment with blending these aged Caribbean rums and the most special blends were reserved for the finest batches they sold throughout Europe. Paying homage to the artisan rums crafted by these pioneering merchants, our rum is a distinct blend of aged plummer style Jamaican pot still rum and a rare component of Rhum Grande Arome from the historic French Island from Martinique. Intensely aromatic and unapologetically funky, our rum can be sipped neat or mixed in classic rum cocktails. Its taste reveals bright fruity caramel flavors balanced by Earthy notes that lead to a long smooth spicy finish.
