| Ron Viejo De Caldas 8Yrs 750ml
Columbia |
Product Notes:
Eight years of aging in Colombian oak produces a rum of beautiful orange-walnut color. The local oak also produces fascinating aromas: wonderfully bright and complex, with mild spices (ginger) and fruits (apricots, figs, orange marmalade, sliced apple), light vanilla, and a distant organic smell like wafts downwind from a far-off leather tannery - very easy on the nose with no offensive alcohol odors. Initial sipping brings new surprises, notably: a delicious wood smoke essence like that from a well-stoked crackling fireplace, lesser tones of fresh tobacco, an earthy mild vegetal sweetness. Overall, Caldas 8 is moderately complex with flavors that compliment one another, and each pleasantly understated. A mediumweight body has just the proper viscosity to deliver each flavor individually, ending with a finish that’s off-dry and woody, short lived, but memorable
