Ron Larimar Peated Cask Finish - Dominican Republic Rum (70cl, 40%)

A five-year-old rum from the Dominican Republic, bottled by Ron Larimar at 40% in 0.7 litre bottles. It first matures in American oak casks, then receives a finish in casks that previously held heavily peated Scottish single malt. The finish adds smoke, fruit and herbs to its vanilla and toffee notes. It contains no colouring. Ron Larimar belongs to the brand portfolio of Angus Dundee Distillers, combining Dominican rum with a second maturation in the cooler Scottish climate. The name comes from the larimar stone, found only in the Dominican Republic. On the nose there are vanilla and orchard fruit sweetness with cigar smoke and toasted coconut, plus fine herbal notes. The palate combines creamy oak and fresh pear with cooked agave, integrated peat smoke and lime zest. The finish leaves sooty campfire notes and grilled pineapple, with walnut and clove lingering.
