The Louis Santo 2012 Rum by Oliver & Oliver is a 10-year-old Dominican rum with an impressive alcohol content of 44.7% and a 500ml volume. This exceptional rum, though not typically available from the manufacturer, was made accessible through the German company Kesselherz. It is a product of the renowned family business, Oliver & Oliver, who also produce other esteemed rum brands. What sets Louis Santo 2012 apart is its unique distillation from sugarcane juice, similar to Rhum Agricole, rather than the more commonly used molasses. This approach imparts a distinct flavor profile. The rum undergoes a meticulous aging process for 10 years in two different types of casks. Initially, it matures in American white oak casks and subsequently is transferred to Amarone wine casks from Italy for further aging. This double-barrel aging enriches the rum with a complex and powerful flavor profile, featuring notes of ripe fruit such as grapes and berries, complemented by sweet undertones of chocolate and caramel and a gentle peppery spice in the finish. Dominican rum, particularly the Louis Santo Rum, is celebrated for its traditional production methods and outstanding quality. The utilization of pure sugarcane juice and a decade-long aging process in ex-bourbon casks, followed by a finish in Amarone casks, results in a rich and smooth flavor profile, showcasing the excellence of Dominican rum. Louis Santo 2012 is a promising release, providing a rich narrative for both connoisseurs and new enthusiasts alike.
