Ron Cristobal Nina (70cl, 40%)

Ron Cristobal Nina is a blended rum from the Dominican Republic. Column-distilled rums aged eight to twelve years are matured tropically in former American oak bourbon casks, then blended and sweetened with cane sugar. It is bottled at 40% without chill filtration. Niña was the nickname of the Santa Clara, one of Christopher Columbus's ships, and the bottling takes up the brand's maritime naming concept. The 0.7-litre bottle comes with a gift tube whose pink-green design echoes the bottle label. Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos produces the rums in the Dominican Republic, growing its own sugar cane and carrying out fermentation and distillation there. The brand is backed by the Danish company 1423 ApS.
