Famille Ricci OVNI 15 1988

Famille Ricci OVNI 15 is a rare piece of old stock, a 1988 vintage rum aged thirty six years and bottled at 54.4% cask strength, drawing on distillate associated with Bielle and carrying a pronounced old Demerara character in the glass. It is a blend of pot and column spirit from a vanished era.

The profile reflects the kind of wooden still heritage that defines classic Demerara, deep and layered with sugarcane, honey, milk chocolate and leather on the nose, then citrus, sugarcane, wood and dried dates on the palate, finishing on coffee and yellow fruits. Bottled unsweetened at full strength, it lets nearly four decades of maturation speak without padding, gourmet and full bodied with the aromatic intensity that only long aged old stock delivers. This is a collector's pour, a dry, profoundly developed rum for those who treasure vintage Demerara style depth.
