Arehucas Añejo Reserva Especial

Arehucas distils on Gran Canaria from fresh pressed sugar cane, an agricole style rum from a less familiar corner of the rum world, and this Anejo Reserva Especial carries an 18 year age statement at a soft 40%. With the added sugar status unconfirmed, the copy stays honest about how sweet and smooth it drinks.

The profile is gentle and rounded, with honey, vanilla, candied orange and mild oak spice over a cane juice base that lends a faint volcanic, floral lift. It drinks easy and a touch sweet, more in the smooth, after dinner mould than the dry, grassy agricole tradition. Often pointed to as the distillery's best value bottle, especially when picked up in Spain or the Canaries, it makes a relaxed holiday style sipper for those who enjoy soft, lightly sweet rum.
