Rum Nation Guatemala Gran Reserva is presented here in a 4.5-liter bottle for connoisseurs.
After column distillation, it is aged for 4 years in ex-bourbon white oak barrels in Guatemala's tropical climate, 185 meters above sea level.
This edition is limited to a few hundred bottles, each numbered.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is carried by a certain sweetness that develops well-known aromas of caramel, vanilla and sweet spices. But it doesn't stop there, as it soon intrigues with a slightly smoky, oily facet.
With aeration, this smoky touch takes on just the right amount of fullness, forming a very pleasant balance with rounder notes. This brings to mind wood, cigar and even leather.
The palate is quite complex, yet soft and rounded. It immediately envelops the palate with its sweet, suave touch, then spreads out a very tender oak cask, filled with vanilla and mild spices. A few toasty notes are picked up in a rum honey studded with sweet spices.
The finish is delicious, with a lightly salted caramel with roasted highlights.
"A very gourmand but nevertheless complex rum..."
