This wonderfully balanced and vibrant Rum is made primarily with both molasses and fresh cane juice. It’s aged first in American white oak (Whiskey) casks and then finished in French oak Cognac barrels.

Brilliant, medium gold/green color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of white peach, apricot stone, and lemon curd with supporting notes of orange peel, honeysuckle, and hints of apple skins. The palate confirms the nose delivering a tropical fruits-driven core with flavors of pineapple, lychee, candied lemon zest, and white peach. The finish is long and lingering with notes of citrus and mineral. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant yet opulent texture. Made with a blend of 54% Grenache Blanc, 29% Viognier, 9% Marsanne, 7% Roussanne, and 1% Bourboulenc. This is our favorite Patelin Blanc to date. $28 – 5 Stars/97 points

Spirits Reviews
Di Antonio Amaretto Cream Liqueur
Thick, tan and creamy. A muted nose with soft scents of almond cream with candied nuts and a hint of mocha. Quite viscous on the palate with a very sweet Amaretto flavor on the front palate that quickly fades to not much more than sugar and cream. Medium-bodied while being thick on the palate and a bit flabby. Serve over ice. $15 – 3 Stars
