Ak Zanj Haitian Dark Rum Review
There's something of a natty, skin-contact wine vibe to this rum's packaging, and the spirit inside proves to be similarly esoteric. Beginning with an enjoyable blend of prune and molasses aromas, the palate then serves layers of vegetal complexity and a mix of under-ripe tropical fruit and brown sugar. This rum's profile will be a huge hit with añejo tequila drinkers.
