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

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.
