La Hechicera 1999 Serie Experimental No. 2 Banana Infused 21yo is a unique rum from Colombia, produced by the renowned La Hechicera Distillery. Carefully crafted under the watchful eye of a Japanese Master of the Cellar, this limited edition rum, with only 15,000 bottles released, is an intriguing blend that stands out for its intense banana infusion. This rum is neither colored, cold-filtered, nor sweetened, ensuring a more authentic and qualitative banana-infused experience compared to other banana-flavored rums like Bumbu. The rum's aging process began in 1999 and it was bottled in 2020, making it a remarkable 21-year-old spirit. The beautifully designed bottle provides transparency about the production process and ingredients, a testament to La Hechicera's commitment to quality and authenticity. With an ABV of 43%, this rum offers a balanced and enjoyable sipping experience that is equally delightful in high-quality cocktails. On the nose, expect an explosion of overripe banana, prunes, dried dates, raisin, honey, butterscotch, candied fruit, caramelized sweetness, marzipan, and earthy undertones. The palate is greeted with a dry and delicious mix of banana, spicy oak, warm sweet notes, and earthy flavors. The finish is short and dry with lingering banana, sweet, candied vanilla, and oaky woodiness. Despite some mixed reviews regarding its sweetness, many appreciate its natural banana flavor, making it a perfect liquid dessert or an easy sipper for every day. Whether enjoyed neat or in a sophisticated cocktail like a Banana Daiquiri, La Hechicera Banana Infused Rum is a delightful, experimental treat.
