Ron Sostenible Very Limited Experimental Cask Series (Pedro Ximenéz) 2023

Ron Sostenible runs a Very Limited Experimental Cask Series, and this Dominican release is built on fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses, unusual for the region, aged eight years in ex-bourbon oak with a Pedro Ximénez sherry character in play. It is bottled at 43%.

A cane juice base gives a greener, more vegetal core than a molasses ron, while PX sherry typically brings dark raisin, fig and a deep, sweet richness. At 43% it stays in soft, sipping territory. Expect an experimental, dessert leaning Dominican shaped as much by the sherry influence as by the cane, rounded and fruit driven rather than lean or spirit forward.
