El Ron Prohibido Habanero Solera 12 Blended Rum (70cl, 40%)

A Mexican blended rum matured in the solera method using previously used sweet wine casks. Differently aged rums are brought together, with a little raisin wine rounding the blend and contributing to its sweet-sour character. It is bottled at 40% in a 0.7 litre bottle. The rum shows a dark brown colour with reddish reflections. Dried fruit, nutty tones and sweet wood notes meet chocolate and coffee. On the nose it is sweet and intense, with raisins, plums and other dried fruits, plus vanilla, wood, walnuts, buttery notes, chocolate and coffee. The palate brings raisins and prunes to the fore, with chocolate and coffee and walnut wood. The finish is long and silky, with dried fruit, vanilla, chocolate and coffee and a hint of caramel.
