Ron Sostenible Experimental Cask (Cognac Finish)

Ron Sostenible Experimental Cask is a Dominican Extra Anejo built from column still molasses spirit aged twelve years and then finished in Cognac casks. Notably for the Spanish style, it is recorded as unsweetened, so its character comes from the spirit and the wood rather than from dosage, which is worth flagging in a category where added sugar is common.

The Cognac finish should layer grape, dried fruit and a touch of soft spice over the vanilla and caramel that cask ageing typically gives a Dominican rum. At 43% and free of added sugar, it sits drier and more spirit driven than many of its smooth Spanish style neighbours, rewarding drinkers who want the oak and base spirit to speak for themselves.
