Emperor Sherry Cask Finish

Emperor is a Mauritian brand built around approachable, cask-finished rums, and this sherry-finished bottling is its softest, sweetest expression. It is a blend drawing on both molasses and a portion of cane-juice spirit, aged in American oak and then finished in sherry casks that dominate the profile.

The sherry stamp is unmistakable, fruity and cherry-laden on the nose, sweet and round on the palate with cherry, soft fruit and mild spice over light wood. The finish stays fruity and balanced with the cherry note carrying through. This is an openly sweet, easygoing rum at 40%, not a dry sipper, and it plays to that strength: comfortable neat for those who like a sweeter style, and just as happy with cola. Honest value in its bracket rather than a serious aged statement.
