Licores Veracruz Mocambo 10 Years

Mocambo 10 Years is an aged rum from Licores Veracruz in Mexico, column distilled from molasses and matured a decade in Ex-Bourbon oak, bottled at 40%. It comes from the Veracruz cane country and sits in the accessible, dessert leaning Latin American mould, with a focus on chocolate and toffee richness.

The Ex-Bourbon ageing pushes a sweet, confectionery profile, the nose offering dark chocolate, toffee, vanilla and cherry, while the palate turns earthier and more roasted, with a brown sugar depth and a light sweetness that opens up after the first sip. The finish is earthy and lingering. There is no firm confirmation on added sugar, though the soft, cocoa rich style suggests a gentle, approachable build rather than a dry, austere one. It offers honest value as an easy after dinner pour, with the distillery's higher aged expressions said to push the same character further.
