Borco Market Import Destilería Heriberto Duquesne Vacilon Añejo 25 Años

This Vacilon Anejo 25 Anos is a long-aged Cuban from Destileria Heriberto Duquesne, brought to market by the German importer Borco. A twenty five year statement places it among the more venerable Cuban rums available, yet it stays true to the island's tradition of lightness and balance rather than heavy oak.

Matured in ex-bourbon wood in the tropical climate, it shows a sweet, woody nose with vanilla and citrus, then a balanced palate of vanilla, gentle sweetness and leather, finishing warm with oak, spice and dried fruit. The result is very soft and well integrated, a smooth, harmonious sipper that wears its quarter-century lightly, more about elegance and ease than weight. It drinks gently and pleasantly neat, a mellow and approachable aged Cuban for those who value smoothness and balance over intensity, and a relaxed pour for unhurried evenings.
