Distilled in early 1999 at the renowned Sancti Spiritus distillery in Cuba, this exquisite rum has been aged for an impressive 18 years in a single cask. This maturation process began in Cuba before the cask was transferred to Scotland for its final aging phase. Bottled by the esteemed Kill Devil without any additives such as caramel or sugar, this rum stays true to the brand's philosophy of purity. With only 344 bottles available, this rare gem boasts a robust 46% ABV, encapsulating the essence of Cuban rum in every drop.
This Cuban rum is a marvel of complexity and elegance. It captivates with its intense aroma and remarkable freshness, offering a sensory experience different from most other Cuban rums. The palate reveals a harmonious blend of spices and sweet fruitiness typical of Spanish-style rums, intertwined with vegetal and grassy notes more akin to Agricole rums. Perfect for those who appreciate Ron but want to explore the nuances of French-style rums.
The aroma might remind one of Jamaican rums due to its unusually fruity and ester-rich notes. Beautifully balanced at a drinking strength of 46%, this rum promises an exceptional tasting journey.
This rum stands out due to its 18-year aging process in a single cask, its lack of additives, and its complex flavor profile which combines Spanish and French rum characteristics.
The rum was initially aged in Cuba before the cask was moved to Scotland for the remaining maturation period.
Only 344 bottles were produced, making it a rare and exclusive offering.
