Valdespino Ron Viejo Rum | 700ML

You may know Valdespino more for their Sherries, but they've also released some spirits over the years, too. This right here is a rum from Panama and the Dominican Republic which have been aged in Sherry casks (obviously!).

Valdespino Ron Viejo Rum | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Cinnamon and nutmeg give it a core of herbaceous spice, followed by orange peels and tropical fruits.

Palate: Layers of thick Pedro Ximenéz-style sweetness develop, with zesty grapefruit and bergamot in tow.

Finish: Chocolate raisins and waxy fruit.

Distillery Information

Though originally established as a Sherry producer, Valdespino has been known for ageing top quality holandas and eau de vie in its facilities in Jerez de la Frontera since the start of the 20th century, when the family started to select and import rare distillates. Some years later, in 1940, a special lot of the purest Cuban rum was imported and aged in American oak casks to be further established into a very old and limited solera. This began as an experiment, shared exclusively with friends, and the spirits were left to age and evolve slowly in a hidden corner of the bodega. When the Estevez family acquired the firm in 1999, these treasures were rediscovered. This premium quality rum is obtained from the distillation of molasses from sugar cane. The origin of this distillate is the first batch of Cuban rum imported by Valdespino in 1940, which was established into a limited Solera. Over decades this Solera has been topped up with selected Panama (70%) and Dominican Republic (30%) rums. A small selection of batches were subsequently aged under the solera and criadera system in sherry casks which previously contained extremely old Oloroso sherry.
