The Ron Medellin Extra Anejo 8yo is a distinguished rum with an alcohol content of 37.5% and a volume of 700ml. Crafted in the Aburrá Valley in Colombia, an area renowned for its fertile soil and perpetual springtime conditions, this rum is produced at an impressive altitude of 1,500 meters. The rum is meticulously made from a selection of cane honey and undergoes a thorough distillation process. It is then aged for approximately 12 years in American oak barrels, which imparts a rich, dark color and deep woody flavor to the spirit.
Upon opening, the aroma presents a harmonious blend of wet wood, fresh leather, and sweet nuances of overripe melon, vanilla, and coffee. With aeration, the rum evolves, becoming cooler and adopting a fresh, vegetal edge with a subtle hint of solvent. The nutty notes are pronounced and robust, featuring cashew, peanut, and macadamia flavors. The woody character is well-balanced, settling on smooth tannins and vanilla, with a smoky undertone.
On the palate, the Ron Medellin Extra Anejo 8yo is remarkably smooth with an initial hint of toasted wood. This more assertive side is reinforced by flavors of coal and tar, delivering a slightly extreme caramel taste. The woodiness remains balanced, culminating in a finish that highlights round tannins, vanilla, and a smoky touch.
