This is the 12-year-old expression from the Ron Santiago de Cuba range of rums. The distillery produces its own molasses, using sugar cane grown in south-east Cuba, which is then distilled before the rum is allowed to rest in white oak barrels. The casks are stored at The Don Pancho warehouse, and legend has it that due to its proximity to nearby train tracks, the barrels gently tremble as trains rumble by! A well-put-together expression from the Cuban distillers, plenty to enjoy here.

Good helpings of thick, rich caramel and sweet fruits - think orange segments and dried cherry.
Quite nutty at first, though the fruit notes swiftly return (more tropical than before).
Burnt sugar and a touch of banana.
Delicious rum, smooth, sweet and spicy
