The Ron Canero Reserva Especial 12yo is a testament to the mastery of Juan Alberto Alvarez, a renowned figure in the world of rum production. This 12-year-old rum is expertly crafted by Spiritsland, a Spanish company, using locally grown sugarcane from the Dominican Republic. As an Agricole Rum, the juice from the sugarcane is directly distilled, yielding a unique and robust flavor profile.
The aging process employs the traditional Solera method, where the rum is stored in multiple tiers of bourbon barrels. The youngest distillate is placed at the top tier, while the more mature rum rests at the bottom. This method allows for a consistent and well-rounded flavor profile as the rum is gradually exposed to the influences of the oak barrels over time.
The nose of the Ron Canero Reserva Especial 12yo reveals a tangy sweetness, dominated by strong fruity aromas. Notes of creamy strawberry and soft banana candy are prominent, with an underlying base of vanilla. With aeration, the rum evolves to exhibit milky nuances, reminiscent of strawberry or cherry milk lollipops, cane sugar, and vanilla.
On the palate, the rum begins soft but quickly unfolds into a full-bodied, vanilla-forward profile. The sweetness returns mid-palate, evoking the sensation of melted candies in a fluid cane sugar syrup. The finish is long-lasting, featuring well-cooked caramel, toasted wood, hints of molasses, and a lingering vanilla flavor.
Additional tasting notes highlight aromas of young wood, vanilla, dried fruit, pear, and marzipan. The taste includes sweet raisin, soft textures, roasted almonds, and prunes. The finish is characterized by roasted almonds and almond flavors.
This rum is perfect for those with delicate and sweet palates, and can be enjoyed on its own or extended with a dash of tonic.
