Ron Carúpano
25 Year Old Legendario Single Barrel Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted: 9/27/2024

Country: Venezuela

Alcohol: 40%

Medium amber color. Aromas and flavors of molasses and brown sugar, baked red apple and cocoa nibs, cinnamon coffee cake, tonka bean and vanilla extract, and dried cherries and chocolate chips with a round, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, appealing, medium-length finish that shows notes of cherry syrup, allspice, and chocolate sauce, cocoa nibs and pipe tobacco, rancio, vanilla, mocha, and and raspberry nougat. A lovely sipper with delicate complexity and some real age; contemplative and joyful and dripping with dessert notes but without an overwhelmingly sugary palate.

About

Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
