The El Ron Prohibido Gran Reserva Mexico Wooden Box is a masterfully aged 15-year-old rum produced by the esteemed El Ron Prohibido distillery in Mexico. This exceptional rum is crafted through column distillation and aged using the traditional solera system, a technique often associated with Spanish sherry wines. This method imparts a unique depth and complexity to the rum, making it a standout choice for connoisseurs. On the nose, El Ron Prohibido Gran Reserva offers an inviting triptych of coffee, molasses, and cocoa, accompanied by a subtle woodiness and a touch of wet cardboard that evokes a moist, tropical ambiance. Rich caramel notes trap hints of nuts, blending seamlessly with coffee and chocolate to create a creamy mocha aroma. The palate mirrors the nose beautifully, leading with liquorice molasses, toast, and dark maple syrup, followed by robust coffee and caramel flavors. The cocoa evolves with a peppery and spicy profile, reminiscent of dark chocolate infused with Espelette chili, delivering a tantalizingly spicy sensation. This Gran Reserva is aged for three years longer than its 12-year-old counterpart, allowing it to develop a richer and more intense flavor profile. The aging process in oak barrels contributes to the rum's smooth and velvety character. Presented in a luxurious wooden box, this rum makes an exquisite gift or a prized addition to any spirits collection. El Ron Prohibido Gran Reserva is a must-try for any rum enthusiast, promising a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
