A rum to enjoy with a piece of dark chocolate in hand. The second release in RomDeLuxe's Selected Series takes the road through the Dominican Republic and the Spanish rum style's soft, coffee-like character.
Expert Description
RomDeLuxe Selected Series Rum no. 2 Dominican Republic is a Dominican Republic Rum aged 5 years and bottled at 40%.
The rum is distilled in the Dominican Republic and has since spent 5 years in American bourbon casks in the tropical climate, giving it a rich, complex flavour profile. RomDeLuxe selected this rum as the second release in the house's Selected Series and highlights it as a classic representative of the Spanish rum style, where purity and a soft, lightly sweet character take centre stage over the more powerful, ester-rich Jamaican style.
RomDeLuxe recommends the rum as a natural companion to a piece of dark chocolate, a combination that underscores its coffee and cocoa-driven notes.
Tasting Notes
