Santiago de Extra Añejo 20 Años

Santiago de Extra Anejo 20 Anos comes from the Santiago de Cuba distillery, a twenty year old column still molasses rum matured in ex bourbon wood and bottled at a soft 40%. It sits in the classic, lighter Cuban tradition, built for smoothness and an elegant, restrained character rather than weight or power.

The nose offers caramel, molasses, vanilla and a fruity lift, the palate brings vanilla, dark chocolate and honey on a light frame, and the finish turns to oak, roasted notes, caramel and mocha. The long ageing gives depth and a dried fruit richness while the spirit stays gentle and easy, true to the polished Cuban style. It is a smooth, mellow sipper, comfortable alongside a cigar, more about graceful, light bodied drinking than intensity, and a refined example of what extended ageing brings to a classic Cuban rum.
