Rum Nation Peruano 8 year 2017 Release Peru Rom 42%

Peru is rarely seen as a rum nation on the shelves, but Rum Nation's Peruano release shows what the country can do when eight years of ageing meets Italian bottling expertise.

Expert Description

Rum Nation Peruano 8 Year is a Peru Rum aged for 8 years and bottled at 42%.

The rum is selected and bottled by Rum Nation, the Italian bottling house specialising in single origin rum from the Caribbean and the wider rum belt. Peruano 8 Year is part of the 2017 release and offers a rare glimpse into Peruvian rum production, which is far less widespread internationally than rum from the classic Caribbean nations. The eight years of ageing give the rum a rounded, approachable character that sets it apart from the more powerful styles of Jamaica or Guyana.

The result is a smooth, balanced rum, where caramel and light spice meet a dry, clean finish.
