70cl/40% ABV Dominican Republic
This rum produced using the company’s proprietary double-distillation technique which apparently creates a clean, dry rum which contains fewer of the heavy alcohols which tend to provide other rums a sweeter flavour profile. The Especial Extra Dry is blended from a mix of rum spirits which have been aged a minimum of 2 years and up to as many as 5 years in White American Oak casks. The rum is triple charcoal filtered, and was developed as a high-end cocktail spirit meant to compete with ultra premium Vodka.
Soft and decadent on the nose with hints of warm banana bread, cocoa butter, lychee, and melon. The palate is pure and fruit-forward with hints of spice, caramel, banana, and minerals. Long, crisp with some refreshing grass notes on the finish.
