Ron Cartavio is a Peruvian rum model that dates again to the late Twenties. Their portfolio is impressively massive with at least seven age-stated choices, together with a number of bottlings extra geared towards mixing. Our first take a look at the lineup begins on the very tip prime with their oldest XO providing, a mix of 10- to 30-year-old rums with a weighted common of 18 wholesome years. This rum was distilled from molasses and aged utilizing a solera methodology in a mixture of French Limousine, American, and, unusually, Slovenian oak casks. Let’s dig in.

That is decadent stuff from the get-go. The aroma is darkish and syrupy with sticky candy brown sugar, toffee pudding, and banana bread with sugary walnuts. The palate is considerably brighter and lighter on its ft with a little bit of spicy, drying oak that offsets extra lush notes of plump fig, dried purple fruits, candied ginger, and darkish vanilla bean. A gentle, hugging heat builds reasonably into the end the place a thick slug of torched sugar returns together with lingering notes of cocoa powder and leather-based. Spectacular stuff and a strong purchase at round $70.

80 proof.
