Baoruco Ron Añejo 5

Baoruco Ron Anejo 5 is a 5 year old Dominican Republic ron from the Baoruco distillery, made from molasses, matured in ex-bourbon wood and bottled at a gentle 37.5%. It sits in the soft, approachable Spanish style, aimed at the easygoing end of the market.

Dominican ron of this type typically shows light vanilla and caramel over a mellow body, and at five years and reduced strength this is a younger, lighter expression rather than a deep or weighty one. It reads as a simple, accessible entry-level sipper or mixing rum, best taken on its own gentle terms. The sugar status is not disclosed, so expect modest sweetness in keeping with the style.
