Destilería Heriberto Duquesne Vacilon Añejo 5 Años

Vacilon Anejo 5 Anos comes from Destileria Heriberto Duquesne in Cuba, made in the island's light ron ligero style from molasses on a column still. Cuban rum is built for cleanliness and balance, the spirit charcoal-mellowed and the barrel adding gentle colour and flavour.

With five years in ex-bourbon oak, this anejo should show light vanilla, soft caramel and a clean cane backbone at an easy 40%. It sits in the everyday, approachable tier of Cuban rum, equally at home neat or in a classic cocktail. Added sugar is not disclosed, so expect a soft but not heavy profile in the Cuban manner.
