The Tres Hombres 2021 Edition 048 Republica Dominicana is a remarkable rum originating from the Dominican Republic, crafted by the renowned distillery Oliver & Oliver. This exquisite spirit is distilled from molasses and aged for nearly two decades using the solera method, a process that incorporates younger distillates to create a harmonious blend. After this extended aging, the rum undergoes further maturation in oak casks that previously held Oloroso sherry, red wine, and Moscatel wine. Uniquely, this final aging process occurs on the high seas within the cargo hold of the Tres Hombres sailing ship. This limited edition of approximately 4,184 bottles highlights the remarkable qualities of fair trade and environmentally friendly transportation, alongside an extraordinary maritime finishing process.
The Tres Hombres rum line, including the 2021 Edition 048 Republica Dominicana, distinguishes itself for several reasons. Firstly, it is a fair trade rum produced using sustainable transportation methods. Secondly, the premium products undergo a final aging process aboard a sailing ship, setting them apart from other rums. This unique finishing process involves fluctuating climatic conditions during the journey from the Caribbean to Amsterdam, as well as constant motion and increased wood contact, which imparts a maritime influence to the rum.
Aromatically, the Tres Hombres 2021 Edition 048 Republica Dominicana offers notes of vanilla, exotic fruits, sweet spices, and molasses. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel, combining tropical fruits, marmalade, and spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. The finish reveals oak, milk chocolate, and a hint of tobacco, providing a long-lasting and enjoyable experience.

Aged for 18 years, it is a true masterpiece that will delight connoisseurs.
