Rum UNHIQ XO (50cl 42%) - crb

Though the concept of "Malt rum" may seem unfamiliar to most ron consumers, it is nonetheless a product that has its roots in the Cuban ronera culture of the 19th century. During those years, the vast majority of ron came from the distillation of sugar cane molasses, with an alcohol content originally around 90°, which was then diluted. In contrast, still distillation yielded aguardients between 45 and 50 degrees alcohol, intended for consumption without further dilution. In the Cubanacan area, later renamed Las Villas, a small and select group of distillers devised the production of spirits between 72 and 74 degrees, to be marketed later at 42 degrees. The result was a ron that was much milder and softer than the aguardients, but with a full and more pleasant bouquet than the 90° spirits. Giving it this name was a priest of Greek-Hispanic descent, a parish priest in the village of Las Placetas and a great admirer of the area's ron. Father Pertika noted that this new flavor of ron reminded him of the honey of his childhood, and since "malt" is the Greek name for honey, he coined the term "ron de malta" for the new product. The original formula for "malt rum" was recovered by Nancy G. de Blank, wife of a descendant of Don Juanillo Oliver, the great Cuban ron producer of the 19th century. An artisanal, unique, excellent and inimitable ron in a limited edition and characterized for aroma, taste and bouquet of excellence.
