  Ron Izalco 10 years old Blended Rum 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 059763-615-137

  A former Indian athlete left a software career to pursue a passion for Central American rum - the result is Ron Izalco, named after a volcano that for centuries guided sailors home.

  Expert Description

  Ron Izalco 10 years is a Blended Rum, assembled from some of Central America's finest aged rums from Nicaragua, Guatemala and Panama, bottled at 43%.

  The rum is made by the American house Phenomenal Spirits, founded by Karthik Sudhir, who left a career in software for a passion for rum. The base is sugarcane grown in the volcanic soil around the Izalco volcano in El Salvador, which gives the cane exceptional quality and flavour. All rums in the blend are at least 10 years old before being assembled under the watch of master blender Matt Witzig.

  The Izalco volcano, also called the "Lighthouse of the Pacific", stands 1,965 metres tall and from 1770 to 1958 served as a fixed landmark for sailors, who for 188 years could navigate safely to harbour by its glowing crater.

  Ron Izalco 15 years old Cask Strength Rum 70 cl 55.3%

  Item no.: 059763-615-139

  Five extra years in cask compared to its younger sibling makes a noticeable difference - Ron Izalco 15 years Cask Strength is the most mature and concentrated edition in the range.

  Expert Description

  Ron Izalco 15 years Cask Strength is a Cask Strength Rum, blended from Central American rums and bottled undiluted at 55.3%.

  The rum is inspired by the Izalco volcano in El Salvador, also known as the "Lighthouse of the Pacific" for its role as a natural landmark for sailors from 1770 to 1958. The base is sugarcane grown in the mineral-rich, volcanic soil around the volcano, which Phenomenal Spirits lets mature for at least 15 years before bottling the rum at full cask strength.

  The extra years of ageing give this edition a deeper, more complex character than the 10 year editions, with more pronounced wood and spice notes.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Deep and complex, with dark caramel and spiced oak.

  Palate

  Full and warm, with dried fruit, vanilla and a hint of tobacco.

  Finish

  Long and spiced with lingering warmth.
