The Ron Summum Ron Dominicano Cognac Cask Finish 12yo is a rum that showcases the Dominican craftsmanship and the excellence inherited from master ronero Juan Alberto Alvarez. This aged rum is a result of blending various solera-aged casks, each contributing to the rum's rich profile. The nose opens with a strong presence of almond, which is prominent and rich, almost like frangipane. Notes of butter caramel add depth to this "dessert-like" profile.
After initial aging, this rum undergoes an additional nine months of maturation in Normandin Mercier cognac barrels, a house established in 1872. This final phase of aging adds a unique complexity to the spirit, making it stand out. On the palate, almond and caramel dominate, delivering a smooth yet robust experience thanks to its 43% ABV. The result is a sumptuous rum that can be described as a dessert in a glass.
Customer reviews have praised it for being a truly delightful experience, likening it to a "galette des rois" but without the sugar. Some find it excellent and are eager to try the standard version, while others feel it is somewhat ordinary and lacks body. Despite these mixed opinions, the Ron Summum Ron Dominicano Cognac Cask Finish 12yo remains a notable addition to any rum collection.
