Mombacho 21 Years Old Port Wood Finish

Mombacho's 21 Year Old Port Wood Finish is a single cask Nicaraguan ron given a finishing spell in port wood. Mombacho works in the soft, blended Nicaraguan style, and this older expression layers a fortified wine finish over long ex-bourbon-style maturation, though the port influence here stays on the subtle side.

Column distilled from molasses and finished in port wood at 43%, it shows sweet vanilla, oak and a smoky edge on the nose, then carries smoke, dried fruit, molasses and vanilla onto the palate, finishing woody with spice and dried fruit. The port finish reads as a gentle accent rather than a dominant force, so the rum keeps its smoky, dried-fruit core. A relaxed older Nicaraguan sipper for those who like a soft, lightly smoky ron with just a whisper of port rather than a heavily wine-soaked finish.
