Old St. Croix XO Haakon

Old St. Croix XO Haakon is a premium Caribbean rum spirit that pays tribute to the historical heritage of St. Croix and the tradition of producing quality rums in this region. The name Haakon refers to Norwegian King Haakon VII, symbolically connecting the Caribbean rum tradition with European heritage and trade ties.

This rum spirit is made from high-quality sugarcane molasses and then aged in oak barrels, where it gradually acquires its golden color and complex flavor profile. Longer aging allows for the development of a harmonious combination of sweet, fruity, and woody notes that are typical of quality Caribbean rums in the XO category.

The aroma features pleasant notes of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. The taste is full, smooth, and balanced, with tones of caramel, honey, dried fruit, gentle spice, and apple. Hints of oak and sweet molasses gradually develop, adding depth and elegance to the rum.

The finish is medium to long, slightly sweet, and pleasantly warming with notes of vanilla and oak. Old St. Croix XO Haakon is ideal for slow sipping, best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, to fully appreciate its complex aroma and flavor.
