Goldstone Dark rum has been created by using a process called rapid aging. For this we use used barrels that have been decommissioned and chipped into small pieces, This way we can age the rum faster than a traditional cask method as there is more surface area. For this expression we use Bourbon, Sherry, Cognac and virgin cherry and allow our rum to rest for c20 days. As with all Goldstone products we don't add any sugar, flavours or colourings to the bottle. Tasting notes This one has a corking nose! pulling oak, vanilla, leather and hints of plum. Profile wise you will gets bags of vanillin from the oak, plum and whispers of bergamot and smoky golden raisin on the finish.
