Ron Larimar 5 Year Old Small Batch Oloroso Finish Dominican Rum 70cl

If you are a fan of Oloroso Cask or even sherry bomb whiskies then you will get some more enjoyment out of this knowing where the rum has been finished in. If you are a fan of Glencadam and Tomnitoul then say hello to one of their brands of rum. This is not a unification of Bacardi with their rum and also owning Carigellachie and none of them having anything to do with it. This is rum created and finished off with a whisky drinker in mind. Rum on the whole is really finding its feet this decade in the 2020-2030 more than any other decade before us.

As whisky drinkers we love an aged drink that has been in oak barrels for sure. PX or Oloroso .... even more for those who are of that camp. I certainly am. So with that in mind, a highly recommended dram of rum for a small change or use in cocktails too .

Larimar Rum:

For centuries the Caribbean has been a destination for European exploration & trade with many ships travelling back to Europe carrying their own fair share of Caribbean rum. During these long voyages back to Europe it was noticed that rums changed and developed over time, often becoming better when reaching cooler European climates.

This knowledge and understanding inspired us to experiment with this idea: What if we crafted an exceptional Caribbean rum but cask finished it in a cooler climate using the skills of Scotch whisky craftsmen and the perfect maturation conditions found in Scotland?

This is how Ron Larimar cask finished rums were born.
