The Ron Aldea 1991 Tradicion is a 22-year-old rum, distilled in 1991 from pure sugarcane juice at the renowned family-owned distillery in La Palma, Canary Islands. This exceptional rum was aged for 22 years in American white oak barrels and then bottled in 2013, with a limited release of just 3,428 bottles. The aging process was enhanced with an additional finish in Spanish red wine casks, adding a unique sweetness and complexity to its profile. At 42% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this rum is a true testament to the traditional rum-making methods of the Canary Islands and the expertise of the Ron Aldea brand.
The Ron Aldea 1991 Tradicion introduces itself with a sweet and smooth entrance, featuring initial notes of caramel and a subtle hint of vanilla. As it opens up, delicate floral notes emerge, followed by toasted nuts and a light oakiness. The palate is rich with flavors of black tea, tobacco, and classic caramel, leading to a finish of vanilla and molasses. Despite the extensive aging, the rum maintains a balanced sweetness without overpowering woodiness.
This complex and well-rounded spirit is best enjoyed on its own or over ice, offering a unique taste experience that bridges the worlds of Agricole and molasses-based rums. Its rich and intricate flavor profile reflects the distinctive terroir of the Canary Islands, making it an exceptional addition to any rum connoisseur's collection.
