Companero Elixir Extra was born by chance at a rum festival, when someone blended two of the brand's rums together and created an instant favourite on the spot.
Expert Description
Companero Elixir Extra is a Rum Liqueur blending rum from Jamaica and Panama, bottled at 47%.
The rum is produced by 1423 Spirits under the Compañero brand and is a blend of the orange-flavoured Elixir Orange and the 12 year old Extra Añejo. The Panama portion of the blend has matured in casks seasoned with cacao, while the Jamaican rum contributes classic pot still character. The blend was born when an unknown visitor at a rum festival combined the two rums, and the result immediately became a favourite among Compañero's own staff. The release is limited to 9,778 bottles with a label uniting the design of both original rums.
The result is a full-bodied, complex rum liqueur, where tropical orange and coconut meet a pronounced cacao note and a long, spiced finish.
