The Botucal 2011 Distillery Collection No.1 Batch Kettle 47% 700ml rum is a masterpiece from the renowned DUSA distillery in Venezuela. With only 5000 bottles released, this exclusive rum embodies the essence of traditional Spanish influences. The 2011 vintage is aged in small American and French Oak casks with a Sherry finish, which imparts unique and intricate flavors to the rum. This limited edition is bottled at an ABV of 47%, providing a robust and nuanced tasting experience for rum enthusiasts. On the nose, you will find an elegant medley of vanilla, cherry, caramel, dried fruit, and woody aromas, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. The palate is sweet and mild, dominated by vanilla, with additional layers of woody, peppery, and spicy notes. Hints of dark chocolate and a warm alcoholic undertone add depth and character. Although the finish is somewhat short, it offers a harmonious combination of warmth, sweetness, and complexity, with lingering hints of vanilla and bitter notes.
This rum is unique due to its exclusive release of only 5000 bottles, its 2011 vintage, and its aging process in small American and French Oak casks with a Sherry finish.
