This light, clear rum is distilled from molasses in modern column stills five times for a very clean, smooth flavor profile. Initial aromas of butter and vanilla lead to subtle hints of citrus and cane. On the palate, the rum is sweet with a light viscosity. Flavors of vanilla and cream soda dominate before a suggestion of pepper and spice is revealed. The finish is quite smooth, perhaps surprising for a rum that has not aged in oak barrels. From St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Naked Turtle mixes well with many popular ingredients from cola and ginger beer to fruit juices and lemonade. In a lime daiquiri, the creamy smooth vanilla tones offer a delightful accompaniment that is reminiscent of key lime pie.
