For the 20th anniversary of Rum Nation, we have handpicked some of the best and sweetest casks of this precious rum from Guatemala. Made from sugar cane molasses<br />and distilled in a column still, it is aged for a period of at least 4 years in ex-bourbon white oak barrels in the tropical climate of the Hondo river region. The secret of its<br />richness is a second maturation for 16 months in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks in our cool Italian location. This enhancse the rums winey and fruity notes and its<br />natural sweetness of fragrant vanilla and raisins, adding an extra layer of complexity. Sweet and luscious, honeyed and nutty. A limited edition in an elegant decanter to<br />celebrate 20 years of rum discoveries all around the world.<br /><br />Appearance: Mahogany<br />Nose: delicate but rich, honeyed, with all the richness of cane sugar. Ripe dates, vanilla, chocolate, very raisiny.<br />Palate: a very rich and creamy caress, with no alcohol burn. Sweet, honeyed, with notes of buttery pastries. A whole array of ripe fruits: raisins, dates, dried plums, with<br />notes of vanilla and cola. A touch of toasted nuts, and a refreshing hint of candied orange too.<br />Finish: sweeter, and even less aggressive than in the younger expression. Warm, with the winey and raisiny note of the sherry casks becoming particularly evident, but also<br />with a very noticeable note of sweet liquorice.<br />Comment: still a light, easy rum like the Gran Reserva, but made more complex, richer, sweeter and even more velvety by the additional maturation for 16 months in<br />Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks.<br />
