Ron Colon Salvadoreno RumRye 100 Proof Rum 70 cl 50%

RumRye crosses two spirits traditions in a single bottle: Ron Colón's Central American-Jamaican rum blend and a classic American rye whiskey.

Expert Description

Ron Colon Salvadoreno RumRye 100 Proof is an El Salvador Rum blended 50/50 with American rye whiskey, bottled at 50%.

The rum is produced by Ron Colón and builds on the brand's core blend of 6 year old Salvadoran column-still rum from Licorera Cihuatán along with unaged and aged pot still rum from the Jamaican distilleries Worthy Park, Monymusk and Hampden. For RumRye, this rum base is blended in equal parts with a 4 year old American straight rye whiskey made from 100% rye, creating a hybrid that combines the rum's tropical sweetness with the rye whiskey's spiced sharpness.

The result is a bold, complex spirit, where candied fruit and orange blossom meet the rye's characteristic spice in a dry, citrus-driven finish.
