Ron Espero Añejo est un assemblage de rhums traditionnels (mélasse) vieillis en fûts de chêne ex-bourbon entre 4 et 7 ans selon la technique solera (on met dans un même fût des rhums vieux avec des rhums plus jeunes afin que les premiers « éduquent » les seconds).
Le rhum a été embouteillé au Panama.
Nico's tasting notes
In brief: light - caramel - vanilla - woody - spicy - sweet
On the nose, the first ethereal vapors give way to vanilla and caramelized nuts. This is a light rum that gradually finds its balance, shedding its alcohol in favor of a sweeter profile.
Aeration does it a world of good: although still quite sweet, it becomes more vegetal, spicier (pepper, nutmeg) but also fresher, with a blend of vanilla and menthol. A pleasant woody note also takes center stage.
On the palate, caramel and wood provide a certain grip. The ever-present alcohol adds freshness and reinforces the impression of a very light rum, despite a hint of vanilla.
The finish is not as sweet as one might expect, and is naturally very light.
