Description
Rum Runner A.F.D. MDR8 2010 is a Dominican Republic rum from the Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos distillery, bottled at full strength from the 2010 vintage by an independent selector. It is unsweetened, which sets it apart from the island's typically softer, sweeter house styles and lets the spirit show on its own terms.
Distilled on column stills from molasses and aged over twelve years in Ex-Bourbon, it is a brut de fut style Hispanic rum: dry and woody on the nose with chocolate and a toasted edge, then dry and intense across the palate with caramel and oak, finishing woody and chocolatey with a touch of sweetness from the wood rather than added sugar. The strength is bold and could integrate further, but the dryness and depth make it a serious, characterful Dominican for those who want power and honesty over polish.
