Arehucas Ron Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish 2005

Arehucas Ron Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish is a nineteen year old single cask rum from Gran Canaria, drawn from a 2005 vintage and finished in oloroso sherry casks. Made from cane derived spirit without additives and bottled at 45%, it leans on long ageing and the sherry cask rather than dosage.

The profile is deeply sherried yet structured, dried fruit, spice and a herbal lift on the nose, then a palate of caramel, dates and nutty dried fruit, finishing warm and herbal with cinnamon. At 45% and unsweetened, the sherry influence reads as cask derived richness against a dry backbone rather than added sugar, which gives it more definition than many sherried rums of the style. The result is a mature, characterful single cask, a satisfying sherry forward pour for drinkers who want their wine cask rum with genuine age and no sweetening to hide behind.
