Valdespino "Ron Viejo" Caribbean Rum aged in Sherry Casks

Importer's Notes

Ron Viejo is an extremely rare rum obtained from the distillation of molasses from sugarcane and then aged in ex-sherry casks. The origin of Ron Viejo dates back to 1940. In 1940, Valdespino imported a special lot of the purest Cuban rum and established a very old and limited rum solera. Over decades, this solera has been topped up with selected Panama (70%) and Dominican Republic (30%) rums. The casks originally contained extremely old oloroso sherry. Solera: 35 butts of very old rum. Batch Quantity: 3,000 bottles. Tasting Notes: The Ron Viejo has mature oak notes with a sherry background, smooth honey, orange peel, dried fruits, and spices. Complex citrus notes on the palate mix with spices, oak, and caramel.
