Cuban heritage, Dominican production. Cubaney builds on the tradition from Cuba but is today a fully Dominican brand, where the solera system shapes every single bottle.
Expert Description
Cubaney 15 Year Grand Reserva Solera Oliver is a Dominican Republic Rum aged through a solera system and bottled at 38%.
The Cubaney brand was created by Oliver & Oliver, a family-owned company of Cuban origin that moved its rum production to the Dominican Republic after the revolution. The rum ages through a classic solera system, where younger rum is continuously blended with older vintages across a combination of American ex-bourbon casks and French ex-wine casks, a method that produces a consistent, complex character year after year. Under the solera system, "15 years" refers to the oldest component in the blend rather than a fixed single vintage.
The long ageing in the tropical climate has given the rum a rich, almost dessert-like sweetness, where the oak and dried fruit dominate.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Intense aroma of oak followed by vanilla, caramel and roasted nuts, supported by subtle tones of dried tropical fruit.
Palate
Balanced and complex, where caramel and cane sweetness intertwine with roasted almonds and a light spiced note.
Finish
Sweet close with a light, warm oak heat.
