La Hechicera Serie Experimental No.1

La Hechicera is a Colombian blending house with a no-additives stance, and this Serie Experimental No.1 takes its soft, solera-leaning base and finishes it in Moscatel wine casks. Built from molasses on a column still, it follows Colombia's gentler coffee and cocoa corner of the style, here pushed toward a fruitier, wine touched profile while staying unsweetened, which is worth flagging in a category full of dosage.

The nose carries vanilla, caramel, fruit and honey, the palate brings vanilla, a soft sweetness, barrel notes and ripe fruit, and the finish is caramelised, fruity and gently sweet. The Moscatel finish adds a nutty, dried fruit lift that lightens the familiar caramel and vanilla base, giving the rum an easy, approachable character on a light body. With no added sugar the sweetness reads as cask and spirit rather than dosage, making it an honest, tasty casual sipper or mixer that offers something a little different without venturing into heavy or challenging territory.
