The Classic Range is produced by 300-year-old independent bottler Berry Bros. & Rudd.
The aim of this range is to represent the different styles of Scotch whiskies (Islay, Speyside, Highlands...), and more recently, rums (Barbados, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Guatemala).
Berry Bros. has bottled here a Spanish-style rum produced in Nicaragua.
Nico's tasting notes
This rum's light nose takes on toasty, toasted and even smoky notes. As the nose gains altitude, it warms and expands. They fall back on a gourmet wood with sweet spices and vanilla.
With aeration, floral and finely fruity notes confirm a fairly light profile. The alcohol slightly tickles the nostrils as it leaves the glass. All the room is now free for our oak, delicately vanilla-tinged with toasted coconut.
The palate is sweet but savory, with soft oak offering a nice chewiness. Vanilla crashes gently onto the taste buds, encouraged by coconut that's still a little fresh. Then the rum takes a slightly drier turn, with a slightly ethereal, roasted edge.
The finish is gently caramelized, and fades away lightly.
"An invitation to discover a tradition of light, unsweetened rum..."
