Introducing the Pichincha 1996 Palo Cortado Cask 15yo Rum, a remarkable expression hailing from the picturesque region of Ecuador. Named after the majestic Pichincha, a prominent mountain in Quito, this exquisite rum is a true homage to its homeland. Distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2011, it boasts an impressive 15 years of aging in oak barrels, with a final maturation in Palo Cortado Sherry casks. The carefully crafted blend is presented at an ABV of 40% in a generous 700ml bottle, with the iconic mountain gracing its label.
The aroma of this distinguished rum is genuinely impressive, with a rounded, smooth, and sweet profile. Notes of banana, dried dates, raisins, and caramelized cream toffee enchant the senses. On the palate, the taste is warm with nuances of peaches, raisins, dried dates, and sugarcane. Although the flavor may seem less complex than the nose suggests, it remains delightfully delicious, not overly sweet, and with minimal harshness. The finish is marked by hints of licorice, burnt sugar, raisin, and dried dates, leaving a lingering sweetness that satisfies.
