Ron Larimar PX Cask Finish - Dominican Republic Rum

The Caribbean – for centuries a trading hub and source of exotic delicacies. Like rum, for example. During the long voyages back to the European mainland, it was discovered that the sugarcane distillate changed and continued to develop in an exciting way even in the cooler continental climate.

This realization is the inspiration behind Ron Larimar. Named after the Dominican gemstone Larimar, this range features soft, mild rum from the Dominican Republic embarking on a journey that takes it to Scotland, where it matures in various cask types. This is how the Ron Larimar Cask Finished Rums were created.

The cask expertise of Scottish whisky makers meets Caribbean rum in four different bottlings. Ron Larimar with Bourbon Cask Finish developed its creamy vanilla and milk chocolate notes in American oak casks and Kentucky Bourbon Barrels. In contrast, fruit, coconut, and a hint of peat smoke characterize Ron Larimar Peated Single Malt Cask Finish.

One rum finished in Sherry casks is Ron Larimar Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish, with its aromas of dried fruit and caramel; the other is Ron Larimar, which matured in sweeter Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks.

The 5-year-old rum promises aromas such as sweet figs and chocolate-covered raisins.
