The Tres Hombres 2022 La Palma Edition 52 is a 17-year-old rum hailing from the Canary Islands, Spain, meticulously crafted by the renowned Aldea Distillery. This exceptional rum epitomizes rarity and uniqueness, as it is derived from Zuckerrohr, or sugarcane juice, distinguishing it as a Rhum Agricole style rum. Initially, the rum undergoes a prolonged aging process of 17 years in American bourbon barrels, benefitting from the unique climate of the Canary Islands. Following this, it experiences a distinctive finishing process where it is transferred to Pedro Ximenez sherry casks from Spain and Pineau-des-Charentes casks from France. This final maturation occurs aboard the Tres Hombres sailing ship over several months, melding the spirit with the elements of the sea. The craftsmanship does not end there. After distillation, the rum is aged for 17 years in a solera system within American oak ex-bourbon barrels. It then embarks on a maritime journey for an additional 6 months, aging in ex-Palo Cortado and ex-Moscatel casks in the hold of the Tres Hombres. Each batch is hand-cut and fermented using local, indigenous yeast, distilled through traditional methods that honor the heritage of Aldea Distillery. The resulting rum is a premium elixir with a distinct flavor profile. It tantalizes the senses with vanilla, citrus, and floral notes, coupled with hints of chocolate, paprika, and a peppery finish. This limited edition rum promises a truly exotic and rare tasting experience for rum aficionados. **Aroma:** Vanilla custard, citrus fruits, paprika, floral notes, honey **Taste:** Citrus fruits, vanilla, paprika, chocolate, spice, floral notes, pepper **Finish:** Rich and round **Overall Taste:** Tres Hombres 2022 La Palma Edition 52 17yo offers a complex and nuanced flavor profile with hints of tropical fruits, spices, and floral notes, resulting in a rich and satisfying experience.
