The Inner Circle 5 Year Old Black Cask Strength Rum is 151.8 proof and has a burnt golden butterscotch appearance. A complex nose with lifted bourbon oak notes and spice, increasing depth from a slight smokiness. Lifted clean and fruity scent, tempered with hints of vanillin. The palate is one for the connoisseurs, with a rich and heavy sensation hit coupled with bold heat. Serve simply on the rocks for slow consideration. 75.9% ABV.
