Exquisito 1990 Oliver & Oliver

Exquisito 1990 is a Spanish/Cuban-style rum: molasses-based and column-distilled in the Caribbean, then aged and blended by Oliver & Oliver's Cuban Roneros in the Dominican Republic. The base distillates come from 1995, 1990 and 1985, blended with a mother rum with an average age of 15 to 25 years before transfer to a solera system. The nose opens with a very light tobacco note, followed by sweet vanilla and plenty of citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced, with caramelised apple, roasted nuts, oak and fine hints of mocha. It won double gold in the Super Premium category, for rums aged over 21 years, at the Rum Congress in Madrid in 2013.
