For the 5 Year expression, freshly-distilled sugarcane molasses is laid into used American Oak bourbon whiskey casks for initially for 3 years before an additional 2-year finishing in used Tennessee and Canadian rye whiskey casks that have been toasted, not charred. The interplay between these barrels maintains the desired balance between the rum’s intrinsic qualities and the characteristics introduced by the oak.
The nose on the 5 Year displays prominent honeysuckle blooms mixed with soft vanilla and dark caramel. The aromas carry through to a palate of sweet-tart caramel Granny Smith apple that develops into Asian pear and honeydew melon. The finish is soft and long, with lingering cedar notes.
Aroma: Honeysuckle blooms
Taste: Asian pear, Honeydew melon
Finish: Long, with lingering cedar notes
AQS
Authenticity - Jose Fernandez, the master distiller, ferments the molasses with a proprietary yeast partially extracted from pineapples. All expressions are straight-aged, and contain no caramel colours nor artificial flavourings
Quality - Freshly-harvested cane is crushed for its juice within 15 hours of harvest, then boiled & spun to separate the sweet and mineral-laden molasses for fermentation. The Reserva expressions are aged for additional years in used Tennessee & Canadian whiskey casks that have been toasted, rather than charred, to better retain the rum’s natural characteristics
Sustainability - Organically-grown Panameño estate sugarcane from the famed growing region of La Provincia de Herrera
