The Ron Cristobal Santa Maria Limited Edition Rum is a premium rum from the Dominican Republic, first distilled in 2009. This exceptional rum, crafted by the Danish company 1423 World Class Spirits, represents a harmonious blend of history and craftsmanship. Named after Christopher Columbus' flagship, the Santa Maria, this rum reflects a maritime spirit intertwined with a luxurious profile. Aged for 13 years in former bourbon barrels made from American white oak, the rum undergoes a unique finishing process in casks that previously held Islay Scotch whisky, imbuing it with a distinctive smoky character. With only 2063 bottles produced, this limited edition is a true collector's item. At an ABV of 45%, the Ron Cristobal Santa Maria offers a robust yet refined drinking experience. The presentation features a vintage-inspired design, capturing the essence of its rich heritage. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of ripe cherries, oak, and a hint of sweetness. The palate is complex and full-bodied, bursting with flavors of cherries, plums, raisins, smoke, leather, and wood. The finish is long-lasting, with a persistent smoky undertone that lingers pleasantly. This rum is best enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate its nuanced character, offering a delightful sweetness of vanilla, marzipan, and almonds in the aroma. The palate continues to impress with notes of toffee, apricots, and a spicy undertone of pepper, making it a perfect alternative to traditional fruity and sweet rums.
Its unique character comes from its aging process in former bourbon barrels and a finishing process in casks that previously held Islay Scotch whisky, providing a smoky and maritime flavor.
Only 2063 bottles of this limited edition rum were produced, making it a rare and collectible item.
