Conde de Cuba Ron Ancestral Cubano Reserva Especial (70cl, 40%)

A Cuban molasses rum from the province of Las Tunas, where sugar factory, distillery and warehouses lie within the same plantation. The rum is distilled in five copper columns and matured in oak casks using the solera method for up to eleven years; this is not a uniform age for the whole bottling. It is bottled at 40% without colouring and shows a dark amber colour. The nose has fine vanilla and almond notes, a subtle marzipan nuance, caramel and sweet fruit aromas of orange and dried cherries. The palate begins nutty, then returns to the fruity impressions, with ripe mango sweetness, marzipan and fine wood notes in a delicate texture. The finish is velvety, with an oak note lingering for a long time.
