Nose The aroma is rich with notes of tropical fruits from the Caribbean, passion fruit, vanilla and butter toffee. Taste Notes of Sweet rum, vanilla, ginger and lime with back notes of apple mango and orange in the background. Finish Rich and Spicy with a buttery vanilla finish. At Hyde they use two different casks to age their Rum cask single malt. Stage 1 For the First 10 years Hyde single malt is aged in flame charred, first fill, 200 litre oak bourbon casks, from the USA. Stage 2 For an additional 8 months they transfer Hyde into 200 litre charred dark Caribbean rum casks. The flamed bourbon cask initially adds a sweeter vanilla and caramel flavour, followed by the charred dark rum cask which add a sweet spicy rum character to the final expression.
