Probably my favourite rum - it’s from Guatemala. They use virgin sugar cane honey - the first pressing of the sugar cane, unlike most rums which use molasses. As I’ve mentioned in previous notes on Delectable, aromas of burnt caramel, tar and molasses. Aged in a Solera system at 2300 metres above sea level. Firstly in American Oak Barrels then in charred American Oak barrels, then in barrels that previously aged Sherry and finally in barrels that previously aged Pedro Ximinez. Very smooth and dangerously drinkable.

This rum blew me away on my first sip. Silky and smooth, and feels more like a 20 year old whiskey. Amazing experience and definitely the best rum I have ever had. It would be a total waste to mix this with anything other than one large ice cube. What a great gift from my buddy Dave for B50.

Love this rum with just about any dessert... better yet I'm finding it at most restaurants at a reasonable price point.
