The Botucal 2010 Distillery Collection No.3 Pot Still Rum is a special release from Destilerias Unidas S.A. (DUSA), and the third in their esteemed Distillery Collection series. This limited edition rum, with only 5000 bottles produced, is part of a prestigious range that caters to connoisseurs and collectors. Unlike most rums, which are distilled from molasses, this dark rum is crafted from fermented sugarcane honey using a traditional copper pot still and a discontinuous process. Its unique character is further enhanced by aging in American white oak barrels under carefully controlled climate conditions, achieving a remarkable 47% ABV in its 700ml bottle.
DUSA, renowned for world-famous blends such as Ron Botucal Reserva Exclusiva, launched the Distillery Collection to highlight the diverse distillation techniques utilized in their blends. The Botucal Distillery Collection No.3 Pot Still Rum showcases a single-style rum that underscores one of the distillery's core specialties, typically found in their blended offerings.
This amber-colored rum boasts a sweet and fruity aroma with enticing notes of vanilla, tropical fruits, red fruits, and toffee. The palate is complex, harmonious, and rich, revealing flavors of bitter coffee and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is long and satisfying, imbued with a hint of oak. The rum stands as a testament to the distillery's expertise and innovation, making it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
