El Ron Prohibido Rum Silver

El Ron Prohibido Rum Silver is an unaged Mexican rum distilled on a column still from molasses, bottled at 40% under the El Ron Prohibido brand. Where the range's aged solera expressions lean rich and sweet, this silver is the plain white workhorse of the line.

The profile is minimal and neutral, the nose offering little beyond a faintly musty note and the palate staying clean and plain. There is no real funk, fruit or barrel character to speak of here, which is by design, this is a light, inoffensive white built to disappear into a drink. Its natural home is the cocktail shaker or a simple rum and cola, where it does its job without imposing. A straightforward mixing white rather than anything to consider neat, honest about being a workhorse spirit.
