Tasting
Notes: The color is a rich, deep copper amber.
On the nose, there are heady sweet aromas of vanilla, cocoa, and toasted
almonds, and on the palate, we picked up toffee. cocoa, wood, and vanilla notes
with a lush and lingering spicy finish. This is an excellent sipping rum as
well as the perfect companion for specialty cocktail and culinary recipes.

Luxury
Experience - Spirited Chocolate Bananas Foster
Pudding is our take on the rum and banana dessert known as Bananas
Foster (bananas cooked with butter, brown sugar, and rum). Traditionally
Bananas Foster has the bananas served warm accompanied by vanilla ice cream. We
opted for a lush and creamy chocolate and banana pudding instead of ice cream,
with the rum cooked bananas in the pudding as well on top of the pudding.

Method for
the pudding: Melt butter in a medium-large saucepan.
Add banana slices and cook until almost tender. Add the brown sugar and
continue to cook bananas until sugar is dissolved. Add the rum a little at a
time and then carefully light with a long kitchen match to flambé.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: DO NOT USE DOWNDRAFT or have a fan nearby
when flambéing.
Remove the
saucepan from heat to let the flames die out. Puree the banana in a food
processor or with a stick blender or masher until smooth. Set aside.
If you do
not wish to use the flambé method, you can just add the rum and cook it until
it dissolves.
Add the
sweetened condensed milk to the same medium-large saucepan. Fill the can twice
with whole milk and stir in the baking cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes using a long
spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the banana puree. Let sit for a few
minutes then spoon mixture into 6 glasses or cups. We like the look the pudding
served in a Martini glass. Let cool on counter, then cover with plastic wrap
and chill for several hours or overnight.
Just before
serving time, top with more cooked bananas (see instructions below).
