Cana Brava 7 has a good weight of spice and the aforementioned alcohol on the nose. Which is good as it counter acts the vanilla and toffee. Which would have perhaps overwhelmed the rum had it been bottled at a lower proof.

From what I gather Cana Brava has been aged for 7 years in ex-Bourbon casks and the interaction with the oak has also given this rum a good deal of spice and bourbon like zest. It is vibrant and reminds me in many ways of Foursquare 2004. Admittedly with a sweeter edge.
