Perola La Cabaña Bellamy‘s Reserve 12 years old PX Sherry Cask Finish

Bellamy's Reserve PX is a Perola single cask of La Cabana rum from El Salvador, column-distilled, aged close to thirteen years, finished in a Pedro Ximenez cask and certified unsweetened at 42%. That dry certification matters here: where many Spanish-style rums lean sweet, this one keeps its sherry character without added sugar, offering a drier path for drinkers moving away from sweeter bottles.

The nose mixes sherry, roasted nuts, a glue-like edge and fruit, while the palate brings sherry, raisin and dark chocolate over a somewhat thin body. The finish is dry, with sherry, oak and pecan. The PX cask delivers familiar chocolate-and-raisin warmth alongside notes of varnish and firm wood, all without the cloying sweetness such finishes often carry. It is often sipped neat and also makes a characterful mixer, with strong value. It suits drinkers who like sherry-finished spirits and drier Latin-style rum.
