Hacienda Coloma 15 Años

Hacienda Coloma distills near Bogota in Colombia, and this aged expression captures the country's softer, coffee and cocoa take on Spanish-style ron. Made from molasses on a column still and matured in ex-bourbon casks, it carries a sixteen year age statement and the smooth, approachable build the style is known for, where barrel and blending do most of the talking.

The nose opens on vanilla, coffee, caramel and butterscotch, and the palate follows with coffee, vanilla, a woody edge and dark chocolate, closing on coffee, brown sugar, vanilla and a touch of leather. It is a relaxed, dessert leaning pour with a clear cocoa and coffee signature, an easy substitute for soft Cuban or Dominican rons on a quiet evening. Drinkers chasing intensity or a long, oak driven finish may find it gentle, but as a smooth after-dinner sipper at 40% it lands comfortably.
