Ron San Miguel Solera (70cl, 40%)

A solera rum from Ecuador, made by blending longer-aged reserves with younger matured rums in a pyramid-shaped solera system. Ageing takes place in American white oak casks in the Cava San Miguel at 2,538 metres above sea level, and the base is molasses. Licores San Miguel S.A. produces Ron San Miguel in Ecuador. The brand's roots lie in the Paute valley in Azuay province, near a chapel dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Sugar cane comes from the coast and the water from the Andes, while storage uses American white oak casks. The nose shows brown sugar and cinnamon with a warm aromatic impression, plus buttery notes and a fine sweetness. The palate is soft, combining toffee with gentle wood notes and subtle oak spice. The finish is mild, leaving nutmeg and a gentle spice. At the 2025 London Spirits Competition it received a bronze medal with 86 points.
