Ron Colon Dark Aged is a blend of molasses rums from El Salvador and Jamaica. Several styles and methods are represented. There are short and long fermentations, column and still distillations, white and aged rums... The base of this rum is a 6 year old rum from El Salvador. It was selected by cellar master Gabriella Ayala of the Licorera Cihuatán distillery. To bring strength and complexity, white rums from Jamaica (Hampden, Worthy Park and Clarendon) were added, as well as a 3 year old rum from the Worthy Park distillery.
Nico's tasting note
On the nose, the exotic fruits are more than ripe, delivering a soft, warmly tropical flesh with a humid languor. A few sweeter and more acidic accents quickly bring a more sparkling side, which matches the heaviness of fruits such as jackfruit.
With aeration, the wild and full-bodied character develops, and we take off for Jamaica. Pineapple, mango, jackfruit, but also a very tasty dried banana.
The palate is also inhabited by the spirit of Jamaica, and gives us an attack of fresh rum, full-bodied and fruity. The power is not negligible, as is the astringency and spices that swarm the entire palate.
The finish is marked by the freshness of the distillate, and by this indomitable, irrepressibly seductive side.
"A powerful blend where the young Jamaican rums more than play their part..."
