A. Michler Ron Espero Caribbean Orange 70 cl 40%

Untreated orange peel left to macerate in alcohol and blended with matured rum – the result is a bottle that smells of Caribbean summer.

Expert description

A. Michler Ron Espero Caribbean Orange is a Rum built on a 12 year old base, infused with natural orange flavour and bottled at 40%.

The rum belongs to the Ron Espero range from the German bottler Albert Michler, where untreated orange peels are macerated directly in alcohol rather than using extract or essence. This gives a fresh citrus character that sits on top of the soft sweetness from the 12 year old rum base, without drowning the rum's own wood character.

How is the orange flavour added?

Does it pair well with food?

Is 12 years old for rum?

It is a solid, mature age that gives the rum depth and wood influence, without being extremely old compared to the most heavily aged releases on the market.
