Rum Reserva Especial Millonario 15 Anni

The Rum Millonario comes from Peru, a country certainly not known to the world as a producer of rum but this product has received critical acclaim worldwide. Millonario 15 years occupies an important position among the best rums produced enough to be voted the best rum in the world in 2008 and 2009. After a slow fermentation, the juice is ready to be distilled in column stills using the old: a traditional outfit capable to concentrate the alcohol content and essences to give a strong drink and uplifting. Then the rum goes to sit for years in American oak casks in a solera system, absorbing the flavors of the wood and giving the bumps. The result is a rum that has dark walnut color, pleasant scent and exuberant, a range of aromas of caramel and freshly baked pastries, with a combination of aromas of clove, cinnamon and currants. It is not particularly robust, as you might expect, but in the mouth is an explosion of tropical dried fruits: raisins, dates, fig jam blacks. Its finish is long and seems to have no end, sometimes slightly bitter but balanced by a great balance. Considerable complexity to this rum from slow aging.
