Aldea Cana Pura is a limited edition pure cane juice rum. This is indeed a vintage: the sugar cane was harvested exclusively in 2012. The cane was carefully selected at the Los Castaños farm, owned by the Quevedo family.
Fermentation and distillation were carried out independently of the rest of the rum production.
This is a limited edition, and each bottle is numbered.
This rum can be enjoyed neat or as a ti punch.
Nico's tasting notes
The nuances of this rhum agricole are immediately apparent on the nose. There's an immediate sense of balance, with this rum already taut, on the edge. On the one hand, there's the great delicacy of soft, mellow cane, and on the other, bright citrus, lemongrass and a hint of fennel.
The longer you let the rum air out, the closer you get to fresh cane juice. The nose is lightly peppery, still a little aniseed like fennel, fresh like just-cut herbs and mellow like candied grass. The rest weighs the whole down, for the better, and a plump olive makes its appearance. The cane juice really starts to cook, reducing as it thickens.
The palate is peppery and salty. The tongue is quickly put to work as the peppery cane wraps around it like a vine. The rum is rather lively, the cane straightforward yet seductive. It's perfumed withsweet spices, fragrant botanicals and olives. It's a rum that's heavy on aroma, yet doesn't try to overpower the cane, just to enhance it.
The finish is long, withcitrus zest, fermented fruit and a touch of saltiness.
"This agricultural rum doesn't choose between tender cane and stunning aromas, and that's what gives it its personality...".
