- Bittered Aged Rum and Tonic – yep, you’ve got that right. 1.5oz of R.L. Seale’s 12 Year Rum paired with 2-3oz of your favorite tonic and 6 healthy dashes of your favorite bitters. Garnish with a lime slice and enjoy a light but intensely flavorful cocktail.
- Nothing’s simpler than the Corn ‘n Oil – all you need is John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum.
- This also makes a great post-meal sipper. Pair with something sweet; the rich but not overly syrupy flavor will reward you.

VinePair says: “…a textbook example of aged Barbados rum. This 46% ABV bottling shines with notes of vanilla, molasses, and baking spices, while warm toastiness lingers on its long finish. This one’s a sipper, for sure.“
