SHANI in Thai means purple, and is also the color of Saturday in Thailand. And it's this color, DEEP PURPLE, that is brought out by the year and a half spent in XEREZ - PEDRO JIMENEZ casks by our 10-year-old rum from Thailand. More than a finishing touch, it's an additional ageing process that brings out all the sweetness and aromas of this magnificent Spanish wine.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Powerful, with candied fruit aromas.
PALATE Silky, complex, swaying between sweet notes of prunes, toasted vanilla and spices.
FINISH A bewitching, very long finish, between rum and sherry, between power and sweetness.
