Ron Colón Salvadoreño Red Banana Oleo (75cl, 40.5%)

Red Banana Oleo is a flavoured banana rum from Ron Colón Salvadoreño, built on their aged dark rum infused with macerated and distilled dried red bananas, fresh banana peels and a touch of sugarcane syrup. The red bananas come from the Jags Head Coffee farm in El Salvador, where they shade the coffee plants. It is bottled at 40.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Difford's Guide describes clear golden amber colour, a nose of tropical fruit, overripe banana and lightly funky aged rum, a palate of caramelised overripe banana with delicate cacao fortified by lightly funky pot-still rum, and a lingering aftertaste of coffee, cacao, caramelised banana and spiritous pepper. It is suggested neat, or in a Red Banana Daiquiri with lime juice and demerara syrup.
