The Mombacho Reserva Especial 12yo is a premium rum that boasts a rich and complex flavor profile, developed over 12 years of aging in oak barrels previously used for bourbon. This rum is a product of Nicaragua, where the unique volcanic soil and sunny climate contribute to its distinctive character.
The nose of this rum is powerful and aromatic, with initial impressions of alcohol giving way to notes of caramel, coffee, and wet wood. With aeration, the woody taste becomes drier and takes on a slightly dusty quality, while the caramel becomes darker and more pronounced. The alcohol returns in waves, accompanied by hazelnuts and roasted nuts.
In the mouth, the rum is light and smooth, with a texture that is both delicate and velvety. The caramel and coffee flavors are prominent, accompanied by a well-roasted character. The finish is long-lasting, with a toasted or even burnt quality that lingers on the palate.
This rum is produced by the Compania Licorera de Nicaragua, a distillery located in the town of Chichigalpa between Nicaragua's volcanic chain and the Pacific Ocean. The distillery is known for producing high-quality rums, including the famous Flor de Cana brand.
