Ruby port cask finished Rum

Tasting Notes

The first in a series of cask-finished products, this expression of Virago offers an intriguingly delicious re-interpretation of our flagship Four-Port Rum. Having spent months in freshly-emptied casks of ruby port from Portugal’s Douro Valley, this spirit exudes an earthy depth, featuring layered notes of campfire, brown sugar, black cherry, pipe tobacco and leather with a finishing hint of candied almond.
