Cucullo Rum Sistema 12 Reserva

Cucullo Rum Sistema 12 Reserva is a Dominican Extra Anejo carrying a 12 Year Old statement and rested in Ex-Bourbon oak. The Dominican tradition runs to light, clean molasses spirit, typically from column stills, with character drawn from the barrel rather than the spirit itself.

In the house style, ageing in Ex-Bourbon casks should bring vanilla, caramel and a soft, rounded sweetness, with the spice and dried fruit notes that come with time in oak. Bottled at 40% and not run at cask strength, it reads as a smooth, approachable rum in the mould of the better known Dominican anejos, suited to relaxed sipping after dinner.
