Rum Reserva Especial Millonario 15 Anni

Through its rich and deep style, Rum Reserva Especial Millonario 15 Anni is able to reflect the characteristic personality conferred by the Solera Method technique. This is an award-winning rum produced in Peru by the Millonario distillery, whose bottle is decorated with a weave made from hand-woven Toquilla palms. This plant, otherwise known as Carludovica palmata, is widespread in the tropical belt of the Americas, especially in Ecuador, Bolivia and precisely Peru, where it is cultivated for the use of its leaves, with whose fibres the famous Panama hats are made. Specifically, the palm leaves used for this rum come from the small town of Catacaos, located near Piura in northern Peru. Due to its very high quality, Rum Reserva Especial 15 Anni was also voted the best rum in the world for two consecutive years, in 2008 and 2009.

The production of Millonario Rum Reserva Especial 15 Anni begins with the cultivation of sugar cane and its subsequent processing to obtain molasses. This is started in a slow alcoholic fermentation, followed by the distillation of the fermented product in column stills. The rum is then aged for at least 15 long in oak barrels previously used to mature bourbon and sherry, using the Solera Method.

Ron Millonario Reserva Especial 15 Anni possesses a dark walnut colour. The nose is intoxicated with pleasant and exuberant sensations of caramel, coconut, sultanas, candied fruit, plum, clove, cinnamon, dried tropical fruit and warm pastries. The sip is full-bodied, with a rich aromatic range, great balance and character, with notes of brown sugar and dates accompanying the lingering finish.
