Dark Rum
Mead
Gaze water
Fresh lime juice
5 lime wedges
Ice
It is important to know that to produce a 7-year-old rum, it takes at least 14 years, as is the case with some Cuban rums.
There are aged rums to taste in cocktails, but the best way to taste one of this age is dry, on ice, or with a twist.
Look at the color
More fullness in color equals a more intense flavor, so it’s best to serve it with just ice.
Taste the aroma
You should take the time to enjoy the aromas evaporated by rum, such as the intense and complex notes of cocoa, vanilla, cedar, soft tobacco, and tropical fruits.
Serve slowly
