The Last Light Cask Strength Solera Aged Rum is a bold and robust expression from New Zealand, showcasing the distillery's dedication to craftsmanship and tradition. This rum is bottled directly from the final stage of the solera system, at its natural cask strength of 55.2% ABV, without any dilution, filtration, or other alterations. This method preserves the full intensity and complexity of the rum's flavours, making it an authentic and powerful experience.
Nose: The nose is richly aromatic, offering a blend of autumnal fruits like stewed apples, intertwined with the warmth of cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup. The aromas are layered and complex, with a distinct oaky undertone that adds depth to the bouquet.
Palate: On the palate, the rum reveals its full-bodied character, starting with a burst of candied sweetness that transitions into caramelised brown sugar. The oak influence becomes more pronounced, offering a dry counterpoint to the sweetness, while subtle notes of vanilla and spice add layers of complexity. The texture is rich and viscous, making each sip a deeply satisfying experience.
Finish: The finish is long and spicy, with the dry oak and vanilla notes lingering alongside a gentle warmth that leaves a lasting impression.
