The 1731 Fine & Rare Cuba Dominican Republic XO Spanish Caribbean rum is an exquisite spirit crafted from a unique blend of rums sourced from Cuba and the Dominican Republic. The Cuban rums in this blend are aged for 5 years, while the Dominican Republic rums are aged for up to 8 years. This rum is a 100% Column Still-Rum, free from additives and cold filtering, ensuring the preservation of its natural aromas. Upon the first sip, one is greeted with a balanced and pleasant attack, featuring an initial taste of American oak imbued with rich vanilla and soft coconut undertones. The mid-palate experience transitions to a slightly warmer phase, introducing notes of roast and spices. The aroma begins light and floral with hints of rose and lychee, evolving quickly into a well-roasted, dry woodiness that develops a charcoal texture. With time and aeration, the roasted notes soften, transforming into toasted nuts accented with sweet spices. This rum is a true embodiment of the Spanish Caribbean, reflecting the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the region. The 1731 Fine & Rare Cuba Dominican Republic XO Spanish Caribbean rum is an essential addition to any rum connoisseur's collection, offering a premium and unique tasting experience.
