A rum with big flavour from the smallest country in Central America. El Salvador based Ron Colón Salvadoreño combines 6-year-old column-distilled rum with 3-year-old Jamaican rum from Worthy Park, and a blend of unaged, pot-distilled Jamaican rums to make this dark, aged expression. At 40.5% ABV, this rum lends itself particularly well to mixing, we’re thinking Rum Punch or with a fiery ginger beer.
Lighter than you’d maybe expect from a dark rum, it hits you with tropical fruit straight off the bat. The Jamaican style is very noticeable throughout, with a spicy, nutty, tropical finish.
Colon Rum ……this is great tasting Rum but much lighter than any dark rum I have ever tasted okay for a mixer less good for sipping and savouring….. Would have liked more molasses, toasty caramel or even hint of banana and spice notes, lacks depth and length not exactly household name may be French origin ? Colon Brand ….may need help with the marketing !
