Last Light ‘Solera Aged Rum’ 45.5%

Using a solera system allows complex flavours to balance and harmonise. The Last Light ‘Solera Aged Rum’ is matured in a combination of American and French Oak which have previously held NZ white and red wine. This adds another layer of complexity to the overall maturation profile of the Solera Aged Rum.

A bright nose of apple, pear drop with honey and hot toddy spices bound with maple syrup sweetness. Solera is soft on the palate with lashings of sweet candied sugar followed by soft liquorice, cinnamon and nutmeg behind which the oak reveals itself softly. The well integrated oak adds a soft vanilla touch that fades to a lingering spicy finish.

Nose: cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup, stewed apples, autumn fruits, apple, orchard fruits,

Body: candied, burnt sugar, wood lacquer, fresh varnish, oaky, rubber
