RUM MILLONARIO "SOLERA" RESERVA ESPECIAL 15 Y
Millonario 15 years occupies an important position among the best rums produced, so much so that it was elected the best rum in the world in 2008 and 2009. After a slow fermentation, the must is ready to be distilled using the ancient column stills: a traditional equipment capable to concentrate the alcohol content and the essences to give a vigorous and uplifting drink. Subsequently the rum goes to rest for years in American oak barrels according to a solera system, absorbing the aromas of the wood and giving up any roughness. The result is a rum that has a dark walnut color, a pleasant and exuberant aroma, a range of caramel aromas and freshly baked hot desserts, with a combination of aromas of cloves, cinnamon and currants. It is not particularly full-bodied, as one might expect, but in the mouth there is an explosion of tropical dried fruits: raisins, dates, black fig jam. Its finish is long and seems to have no end, at times slightly harsh but balanced by a great balance. Remarkable complexity for this slow aging rum.
