Single-vintage rums are few and far between. This one, distilled in 2000, is worth seeking out. Aged for 12 years before finishing in Sherry casks, this sipper offers rounded, lip-smacking notes of caramelized brown sugar and allspice, fading into a rich hazelnut and toffee finish. The proof feels comparatively high, but an ice cube or two should help restore balance.
