Ron Colón Salvadoreno, Rumzcal, 49.5%

Introduction

Ron Colón Salvadoreno Rumzcal represents a groundbreaking innovation in the spirits world, boldly bridging the gap between Caribbean rum tradition and Mexico’s ancient mezcal heritage. This revolutionary spirit defies categorization, offering a truly distinctive drinking experience that celebrates both cultures’ craftsmanship.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium Salvadoran sugar cane for the rum base and traditionally harvested agave for the mezcal component, ensuring authentic character from both regions.
• Distillation process: Double distillation for the rum portion in copper pot stills, while the mezcal component undergoes traditional earthen pit roasting and stone tahona crushing before distillation.
• Maturation: The rum portion matures in American oak barrels before being masterfully blended with artisanal mezcal to create a harmonious fusion.
• Special techniques: Proprietary blending methods that preserve the distinct characteristics of both spirits while creating a unified flavor profile that highlights the best aspects of rum and mezcal.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Immediate aromatic smoke intertwined with tropical fruit notes, caramelized sugar, and subtle herbaceous undertones. The distinctive agave character comes through with hints of citrus peel and volcanic minerals.
• Palate: A complex interplay of sweet molasses and caramel from the rum foundation, complemented by the mezcal’s characteristic smokiness. Layers of ripe banana, toasted coconut, and peppery spice unfold with vibrant agave notes and subtle earthy tones.
• Finish: Long and warming with persistent smoke, dark chocolate, and tropical fruit echoes. A unique duality where the smoothness of aged rum gracefully transitions to the distinctive and slightly drying mineral finish typical of fine mezcal.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Slightly chilled or at room temperature (16-18°C) to fully appreciate the complex flavor profile.
• Glass recommendation: A copita or small tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromas, alternatively a rocks glass for casual sipping.
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat to experience the full complexity, or over a single large ice cube to gently open up the flavors. Excellent in craft cocktails where a smoky depth is desired.
• Food pairings: Dark chocolate desserts, grilled tropical fruits, spicy Latin American cuisine, or smoked meats that complement the spirit’s smoky-sweet character.
