Bounty Dark is composed of molasses distilled primarily on column still and a small percentage of pot-distilled molasses. The blend is aged 2–5 years in ex-bourbon casks and the added age and hint of robust, pot-distilled rum results in an expression with compelling depth. Baking spice and vanilla have stepped into the spotlight replacing the freshness of plantain found in Bounty White and Gold; caramelized banana and toasted sugar inhabit the mid-palate leading into a focused finish with very little residual sugar. Leaner and more expressive than many of its dark rum competitors, Bounty Dark is highly versatile in cocktail applications. Learn More

98 Points!  The NV Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, but does have some 1927 material in it. This is totally dark brown/amber with notes of figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee. It is dense, super sweet, intense, rich and an amazingly, unctuously textured, thick beverage to consume slowly and introspectively after a meal. Drink now through 2050, or even longer. -  Robert Parker, eRobertParker.com, November 2015
