BACARDI OAKHEART

BACARDI OAKHEART
This new spiced rum from Bacardi has a nose of oak barrel staves with the essence of bourbon or brandy, background notes of dried fruits including apricot, orange, raisin, cherries, and a heavy delivery of butterscotch.  To achieve the flavor, maple, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, vanilla, and caramel are added and the liquid is filtered.  It is very smooth and slightly spiced, with a hint of smokiness.  The finish is slightly sweet and peppery with a noticeable rum kick.  Recommended serving is on the rocks or with cola.  Suggested retail is $12.99.  Available from Horizon Beverage Company.
