  Ron Esclavo Gran Reserva Dominican Republic Rum 20 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727806

  Gran Reserva is the entry point to Ron Esclavo's solera universe, a more approachable, yet still complex expression of the house's signature Dominican style.

  Expert Description

  Ron Esclavo Gran Reserva is a Dominican Republic Rum, produced by Oliver & Oliver, aged 3 to 5 years in American and French oak casks and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is column distilled and then aged in the tropical climate, where high temperatures speed up maturation. Gran Reserva is the most approachable edition in the Ron Esclavo range, but still builds on the house's signature solera approach, where rum of different ages is gradually blended through the ageing system to achieve a smooth, rounded character.

  The result is a light, sweet rum with a syrupy consistency and a fine bitterness in the finishing taste.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Raisin, orange and vanilla, with a hint of prune.

  Palate

  Dried dates, burnt sugar and orange, with a syrupy consistency and light, sweet chocolate.

  Finish

  Medium length, with wood, burnt sugar and a fine bitterness.

  Ron Esclavo Solera 15 years 1423 World Class Dominikanske Republik Rum 38%

  Item no.: 22227865421-96

  Sugar cane, sun and time. A name that carries a heavy history, and a rum that wants the opposite: round, dark and open to anyone who sits down with a glass.

  Expert description of Ron Esclavo 15 Solera

  Ron Esclavo 15 is part of the Dominican Esclavo series, bottled by the Danish company 1423 World Class Spirits in collaboration with the well-regarded Oliver & Oliver. The number 15 refers to the solera method, where the rum is matured in a pyramid of casks and where the oldest part of the blend is 15 years old. It is this method that gives the series its consistency and soft, rounded character from bottle to bottle.

  Oliver & Oliver is known as a blender rather than a distillery and is behind several of the most respected Latin American rum brands. Esclavo 15 is a molasses-based rum, aged in tropical climate in ex-bourbon casks of American white oak, which pulls it towards vanilla, caramel and soft oak. At 38% it is the mildest and most accessible of the age-stated Esclavo rums - a natural place to start if you like the sweet, Spanish style.

  The name Esclavo means slave in Spanish and is intended as a tribute to the people who paid the highest price in the history of sugar cane and rum. It is worth knowing that 1423 has in recent years chosen to phase out the Esclavo name in favour of the brand Patridom, precisely because of the debate around the name.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft and inviting with molasses, caramel and vanilla. A dash of spice and a hint of dark fruit lie behind.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and sweet with toffee, vanilla and dried fruit. Round texture, clearly on the sweet side, with a touch of oak.

  Finish

  Long and warm with caramel and soft spice that fades slowly.

  Did You Know?

  The story of 1423 began at a whisky fair, where a group of Danish friends fell for a rum, discovered the selection back home was thin, and decided to import what they liked best themselves. That decision became one of Denmark's most successful spirits importers.

  Ron Esclavo XO Miniature Dominican Republic Rum 5 cl 42%

  Item no.: 222-19727855

  The name means "slave" in Spanish – a reminder of who once paid the highest price so that we can today enjoy a glass of Dominican Rum.

  Expert Description

  Ron Esclavo XO Miniature is a Dominican Rum made from both fresh sugarcane juice and molasses, bottled at 42% in a small 5 cl bottle.

  The rum comes from Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos, who use only sugarcane grown on their own Dominican fields. The blend behind Ron Esclavo XO draws on rum matured up to 23 years in American and French oak casks, where the Dominican Republic's tropical climate speeds the maturation along. This miniature offers a chance to get acquainted with the range without committing to a full bottle.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet-sour aroma with a touch of coconut and beeswax.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and oily with cane raisins and dark chocolate.

  Finish

  Short but tangy finish with a lightly bitter note of dark chocolate.

  Ron Esclavo previously carried a different name, but changed it to honour the enslaved people whose labour historically laid the foundation of the Caribbean sugarcane industry – a story our own rum blogger Thomas Heie Nielsen has explored in depth.
