Ron Cueva 1501 Panama Sistema 12 Solera

Rum Ron Cueva 1501 Panama Sistema 12 Solera is the result of traditional Panamanian production, which relies on patience and high-quality wood. In the Solera system, younger and older rums are blended to achieve a complex, harmonious taste with a delicate character. The deep amber color with golden reflections hints at the sweetness and maturity hidden in the bottle.

The rum is distilled from molasses and aged in ex-bourbon oak barrels, while the Solera process allows younger and older vintages to be blended, creating a richness and depth of flavor. The bottle is filled with an alcohol content of 40 %, which gives it a balanced strength without sharp aggressiveness.

The aroma is dominated by notes of caramel, vanilla and honey, complemented by dried fruit, raisins and apricots. In the background, there is a subtle hint of coconut, oak wood, and sweet spices, which add a pleasant depth to the aroma. The taste is smooth and creamy - caramel, dark chocolate, dates, and the subtle spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg appear on the tongue. The sweetness is balanced by subtle woody and spicy undertones.

The finish is velvety and long, with lingering notes of toasted wood, caramel, and subtle spice. The alcohol is elegantly integrated, leaving a pleasant, warming sensation.

This rum is best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, which allows its complex aroma to shine through. It is also great as a digestif after dinner or paired with high-quality dark chocolate.
