El Ron Prohibido Habanero is a 12-year-old rum produced in Mexico, specifically in the town of Penjamo, by the distillery of the same name. This traditional rum is distilled in columns and then aged in oak barrels using the solera system, a method also used for aging sherry wines. This process results in a blend that combines the power of youth with the complexity of older rums.
The aroma of El Ron Prohibido Habanero is characterized by caramel, barrel, vanilla, roasted nuts, and coffee notes. On the palate, it offers a balanced and paradoxical impression of being sweet and alcoholic, soft and astringent, dry and watery. The finish has a good dose of roasted nuts, as if ground into powder and infused with rum.
The rum's unique bottle design features a complex relief and a small handle that serves as the only ear. The rum's history dates back to the 1600s when it was originally transported from Mexico to Spain. The unique dark rum employs a solera system, an intricate method blending new and mature rum batches. The amalgamated mixture is then allowed to mature for a remarkable 12 years within former raisin wine barrels, resulting in distinct bitter-sweet undertones and a luxuriously dense mouthfeel.
Overall, El Ron Prohibido Habanero is a complex and flavorful rum that offers a unique and versatile drinking experience. Whether enjoyed on its own or mixed with ginger beer and fresh lime, this rum promises to deliver an exceptional experience.
El Ron Prohibido Habanero is aged for 12 years using the solera system, which blends younger and older rums for a complex profile.
