Introduction

Cubaney Estupendo 15 Sistema Solera represents the pinnacle of Dominican rum craftsmanship, combining centuries-old Caribbean traditions with meticulous aging techniques to create a spirit of exceptional character and depth.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium sugarcane grown in the fertile soil of the Dominican Republic, harvested at peak ripeness for optimal sugar content.
• Distillation process: Traditional column still distillation that preserves the natural character of the sugarcane while achieving precise alcohol levels.
• Maturation: Aged using the sophisticated Solera system for 15 years in American white oak barrels previously used for bourbon, allowing for complex flavor development.
• Special techniques: The Sistema Solera method involves fractional blending where older rums are placed at the bottom of a stack of barrels, with younger rums gradually added to the top, creating remarkable consistency and complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak with hints of dried tropical fruits, cinnamon, and subtle nutmeg.
• Palate: Velvety texture with balanced sweetness offering notes of butterscotch, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and orange zest, complemented by subtle oak tannins.
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of baking spices, toffee, and dried fruit that gradually fade, leaving a pleasant hint of oak.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature or slightly chilled (16-18°C)
