An opulent blend of the finest spirits aged for 8 to 15 years. Where Eclipse is floral and fruity, Extra Old blends significantly older barrels of mainly double pot distillates that have rounded these crisper notes into a subtler balance. It exudes the finesse that only time can bring and offers a true taste of paradise from the rum that invented rum.

Tasting notes

ROMAS:Perfect balance of ripe banana and toast, followed by vanilla, pastry and warm spice. TASTE:Rich, oaky and sharp. BODY:Rounded with a smooth finish.

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points (Mar 2011) Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2011 Finalist. Deep and generous aroma of brown sugar and baking spices (vanilla, nutmeg) impresses; taste profile features vanilla, dark chocolate and honey; delicious.  Wine Enthusiast 90 points (Dec 2005) The initial aroma includes scents of treacle, spice and flower garden; further aeration brings out aromas of black pepper, cola nut, dried red fruit, and molasses. The palate entry is long and toffee-like; at midpalate honeyed, apple butter-like, and creamy flavors add zesty spice to the aftertaste.
