Ron Larimar Rum - Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish - 70cl, 40% abv
For centuries the Caribbean has been a destination for European exploration and trade with many ships travelling back to Europe carrying their own fair share of Caribbean rum. During these long voyages back to Europe it was noticed that rums changed and developed over time, often becoming better when reaching cooler European climates...
This knowledge and understanding inspired experimentation with this idea: What if an exceptional Caribbean rum was cask finished in a cooler climate using the skills of Scotch whisky craftsmen and the perfect maturation conditions found in Scotland?
This is how Ron Larimar cask finished rums were born.
Ron Larimar Rum - Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish. Larimar, ‘the jewel of the Caribbean’, is a rum honouring the precious stone, after which it is named, one that is only found in the beautiful Dominican Republic.
The colours in the Larimar Stone are said to resemble the sunlight dancing beneath the Caribbean Sea. The uniqueness and beauty of the Larimar stone is the inspiration behind the Ron Larimar range of rums...
Nose: A bouquet of rich dried fruits mixed with pineapple jam, treacle toffees and cocoa powder.
Palate: Sweet and indulgent with layers of date, fig and prune mingled with salted caramel, chocolate raisins and cigar box spices.
Finish: Long and fruity with toasted oak spices tingling the tongue.
