Depaz Ambré Élevé Sous Bois

The unique character of Depaz rum is shaped by sun-drenched soils set between the sea and the volcano, rich in ashes from Mount Pelée. This ideal position provides exceptional sugar cane and pure and plentiful water from the mountain. These are two raw ingredients that go to make an 'agricole' rum of subtle finesse. A warm straw golden Amber Color, this gold rum has been aged at least 18 months in wooden casks, which gives it its amber color and subtle woody aromas. Depaz Amber rum ( Raised Under wood) invites with earthy aromas of brown sugar, sweet spice, cracked pepper, grass, hibiscus, and a touch of honey.

The palate is rich and concentrated yet smooth, with flavors of fresh herbs, flower petals, nutmeg, banana, toffee, marzipan, orange, grapefruit, and new sugar cane. A subtle smoky character appears at the finish. Depaz Amber rum makes an excellent sipping rum but is versatile enough for mixing in just about any rum-based cocktail.
