LCBO Note Status Recommended by Vintage Assessments!
TASTING NOTE: Named for a wooden schooner famed for smuggling rum during Prohibition, this amber rum has a relatively light feel for a spirit aged a full 12 years. Flavors and aromas run to hazelnut, cookie dough, brown sugar and vanilla, pepped up with dark chocolate and espresso. Presented in a rotund \"onion\" bottle modeled after an 18th century design.
