Denizen Vatted Dark Rum 100 Proof

Denizen Vatted Dark Rum is a meticulously crafted blend that pays homage to the traditional vatted style of the mid-18th century. This expression combines 80% full-bodied dark rum from Guyana with 20% unaged Rhum Agricole from the esteemed La Favorite Distillery in Martinique, resulting in a complex and robust spirit.
