Don Pancho Orígenes Reserva 30 Years Rum

An exquisite soft caramel bouquet, followed by deep layered aromas of vanilla and oak, with a strength of tobacco, praline, pecan, and orange peel. Full bodied texture, complex, figs, bourbon, a very long dry and warm finish that echoes cognac and toasted nuts.

Limited production only 1,500 bottles available for 2015. Every bottle is hand numbered and signed by Don Pancho. This is Don Pancho vision of what a true Luxury rum should be, true aging. This is the Master blender way to honor his past and those who before him where also the depositaries of the Cuban tradition of rum making.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Clear, deep Baltic amber, Grade B Maple Syrup, or a rich well patinated mahogany or teak antique, with green ring on the surface that shows the extreme aging. On swirling the rum leaves a whisper of a coating on the glass with a line of very small tears forming then going rapidly to larger droplets.

First Impression: Vanilla, dark dried fruits, leather, oak, touches of allspice and a mixture of grassiness, chlorophyll, alkali and minerality overlaid by some molasses/cane honey, orange/citrus, dates, Armenian brandy fruitiness,

Taste: A lovely plush entry with pleasant oily overtones that has a dash of sweetness then dries nicely with a texture like a creme. Lovely dark dried fruit notes (fig, dates, raisins) combine with cane honey, spice, vanilla, tobacco, orange peel and musky cocoa notes that develop and intertwine with the nose to form a lingering and complex finish that is about as sensual as you can get while being fully clothed.

In Don Pancho´s words: This is not an aperitif but a digestive, drink it slowly, drink it neat. Never Alone.
