Hailing from Venezuela, this rum is produced using locally grown sugar cane and aged in oak barrels through a combination of copper pot still and column still distillation. The blend is bottled at a smooth 40% ABV, making it approachable yet complex enough to reward careful attention. The production process maintains subtle agricole qualities through minimal processing of the cane honey base, adding distinctive character to the final spirit.

Nose: Inviting aromas of dried fruit and caramel lead the way, followed by notes of orange peel, dark chocolate, and molasses with underlying hints of leather and delicate floral perfume.

Palate: A rich, coating texture delivers generous sweetness with prominent notes of fudge, baked banana, and chewy toffee, complemented by barrel spices, vanilla, maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, and toasted walnuts creating wonderful complexity.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering sweetness and oak character that encourages contemplative sipping.

This rum shines when served neat at room temperature or over a single large ice cube to slowly open up its layered flavours. It also works beautifully as the base spirit in premium rum old fashioneds or as an elevated substitute in classic cocktails that call for aged dark rum. The complex sweetness and smooth texture make it versatile enough for both sipping and mixing applications.
