Ron Arecha 12 Year Cristalino Rum

A bold, Cristalino Rum by Master Blender Lorena Vásquez in the Dominican Republic with the soul of Cuban rum-making. It is crafted with portions of Molasses-based rum & Juice-based rum distilled in copper pot stills & column stills, that is aged in ex-Jack Daniels Bourbon barrels for 12 years using the Solera method before being charcoal-filtered & bottled at 40% ABV. It has an aromatic birth with notes of fresh sugarcane, fruits, wood, flowers, nuts, herbs & spices; while a bold life adds notes of vanilla, lemon & jasmine; that led to a long & balanced death with notes of oak, white pepper. coconut & caramelized brown sugar. Thanks to Tony Haber & Andres Gonzalez for a story & tasting!
