The S.B.S 2006 Venezuela Double Maturation Bourbon and Port 16yo 50% 700ml is a rare and exceptional rum that no collector or enthusiast should overlook. Crafted from molasses in a renowned Venezuelan distillery, this rum benefits from the country's tropical climate and abundant rainfall, which are perfect for sugar cane cultivation. Distilled in 2006 using a column still, this rum has undergone a meticulous double maturation process for 16 years, experiencing both tropical and continental aging conditions. Initially aged in ex-bourbon casks, it was later transferred to ex-port casks, resulting in an extraordinary and intricate flavor profile. The vibrant character of this rum is immediately noticeable, with fresh fruit notes of peach, pear, and plum. Its texture is light and dynamic, providing a lively experience. As it aerates, the caramel and roasted elements envelop a fresh, tannic woodiness, achieving a beautiful balance. The nutty flavors are reminiscent of crunchy pralines with a core of toasted coconut. On the palate, the rum offers a rich concentration of caramelized nuts, with hints of pecan and maple syrup. The toasted wood carries a subtle molasses undertone, while the core is filled with dark prunes. Aromas of blackberries, cherries, oak spice, and vanilla rise to the nose, complemented by roasted coffee beans, almonds, walnuts, dark chocolate, cherries, tobacco, and vanilla on the palate. Overall, the S.B.S 2006 Venezuela Double Maturation Bourbon and Port 16yo 50% 700ml is a dynamic and multifaceted rum, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
