Full product description

Contrabando Añejo 5 Años is a Dominican rum developed by the Oliver & Oliver rum house. Its name and label tell the tale of rum smuggled across the high seas into Spain, bypassing the customs laws, though nobody quite knows how much of the story is true. It is aged for five years, bottled at 38% ABV without added colouring, and even labelled by hand.

The nose offers vanilla, tropical fruit and fresh coconut, with toasted and balsamic notes from the cask, leading to a well-balanced palate of caramel, sugarcane and mild vanilla. Enjoy it chilled over a little ice, or in a Dark and Stormy.
