MORELLO CHERRY DELIGHT

This 10 year old rum from Belize is from a refill bourbon barrel and is 66.2%.

Outturn:  258 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "The indulgent thick, sweet, fruity aroma of hot Morello cherries soaked in Kirsch over a gooey moist banana-marzipan loaf cake made us want to dive straight in and taste this rum. Mouth-coating! Mouth-filling!  A good balance between the sweet fruity liqueur-like flavours combined with the spiciness and bitterness of a black tea with cloves, ginger and cardamom. With a drop of water an even sweeter, but not cloying, scent of sugar dipped marshmallows and honey-fried figs appeared. A prune juice cake with almonds and chocolate chips on the palate and a slightly dry herbal finish rounded it off perfectly."
