Rum Nation Guatemala XO -...
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 />

Rum Nation Peruano 8 YO
PERUANO 8YO<br />V0L.42% 70 CL<br />In the region of Lambayeque, in the north of Peru, a rum is still produced today in the classic Spanish style, exactly as it was when the distillery was founded in the first half<br />of the 20th century: mature sugar cane molasses grown in extremely fertile soil and climate, old Scottish column stills, a<br />ageing system in various types of barrels, and a blending recipe that is lost in the mists of time. A sweet, syrupy rum, with notes of figs and dates, but which retains<br />freshness and a vibrant, light character due to its young age.<br />Appearance: Intense amber with orange highlights.<br />Nose: Almost buttery, very sweet with hints of fresh sugar cane juice. Toffee, milk chocolate.<br />Palate: Rich and intense, never pungent. The kind of full-bodied intensity that envelops the tongue and caresses it. Sultanas, figs, dates, but the sweetness is accompanied<br />by a hint of spices: cinnamon, pepper, and pleasant tannins from the oak barrels.<br />Aftertaste: Becomes more peppery and tannic, but always remains velvety, syrupy and extremely sweet. Cola and sweetened black tea.<br />Comment: An easy, sweet rum that however does not neglect to satisfy with a robust body and tease the palate with a touch of spice.<br />
