The Botucal 2011 Distillery Collection No.1 Batch Kettle Tube Rum is a unique offering from Venezuela that stands in a class of its own. Unlike most rums, it is crafted from "virgin sugar cane honey" rather than molasses. Distilled in a 50-year-old steam kettle originally used in Canada for the production of American Whiskey, this complex liquid undergoes a meticulous aging process. Master blenders Tito Cordero and Gilberto Briceno oversee its maturation in ex-Bourbon or ex-Scotch American white oak casks, resulting in a rich amber color and sophisticated flavors. This special edition is part of the prestigious Diplomatico Distillery Collection from the DUSA distillery, produced in a limited run of 5000 bottles.
The Botucal 2011 Distillery Collection No.1 Batch Kettle Rum is celebrated for its medium body and inviting aromas of vanilla, oak, and rich fruitiness. The nose also features notes of banana, tropical fruits, cherry, and strawberry, accented by floral hints and toasted caramel. On the palate, it is full-bodied, sweet, and fruity, offering a seamless blend of spice and dried fruits. Its elegant finish is both cool and soft, leaving a long-lasting impression.
This rum is particularly noteworthy for its "half-handcrafted" production method, eschewing molasses in favor of sugarcane honey. The steam kettle distillation and subsequent aging in American oak barrels imbue it with a distinctive character, making it an exceptional addition to any collection. The usage of the steam kettle, delivered over 50 years ago, highlights the craftsmanship and heritage that define this remarkable rum.
