El Ron Prohibido Reserva 22 is a distinctive and rare Mexican rum with a captivating history. The name "El Ron Prohibido" translates to "the prohibited rum," a nod to the Spanish monarchy's historical ban on Mexican rum to curb competition with popular imported spirits. This exquisite 22-year-old rum is meticulously distilled from molasses using a Column Still and aged in American white oak barrels through the Solera method, a technique inspired by Andalusian fortified wines. This aging process blends rums of different ages, creating an elegant and unique blend.
The Solera system involves the careful selection of the 22 finest American oak barrels, used throughout the 22-year aging period. The rum is crafted from sugarcane grown in Veracruz, which is carefully harvested to extract "Guarapo," the juice from the sugarcane. Guarapo is cherished for its refreshing and energy-boosting properties, especially enjoyed during the summer months.
El Ron Prohibido Reserva 22 boasts a complex aroma profile, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, tropical fruits, cocoa, sugar syrup, cinnamon, and almonds. On the palate, it is rich and powerful, with flavors of roasted spices, subtle sweetness, chocolate, cocoa, and dried fruit. The rum is described as velvety soft with a well-rounded, long-lasting finish, harmoniously blending sweet, spicy, and fruity flavors with a hint of tobacco.
The rum's unique flavor profile is further characterized by its roasted and organic notes, with aromas reminiscent of coffee, a humid forest, and rich earth. Aeration reveals fruitier notes, led by orange, along with accents of cooked sugar, strawberry, and raspberry, akin to a crunchy candy.
