Spirit of the Year Dominicana
Dominican Rum as it Should Be.
Featuring aromas of sherry, spices, and hints of citrus on the nose, E. León Jimenes 1903 Rum comes to life on your palate, with smooth flavors of toasted wood, almond, hazelnut, and chocolate.
The Process
4 still column distillation of Guarapo (Sugar Cane Juice) vs. Molasses (only ~10% of all rum is made using Guarapo).
Aged Eight Years. The first
6.5 years are spent in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels and the final 1.5
years in ex-Sherry barrels provide for a unique, subtly sweet finish.
Naturally Aged. Vs. the Solera method which blends rums of various ages and can claim
the oldest age vs. the linear method more commonly used in whiskeys and single
malts.
