History and production of the Malteco Seleccion 1987:
The rum producer Ron Malteco has built up a veritable reputation in recent years. The product range extends from highly aromatic rums, which form a strong base in cocktails and mixed drinks, to exclusive, award-winning rarities that make the hearts of all aficionados beat faster. The Malteco Seleccion 1987 definitely belongs to the latter category.
The limited special editions from the Selección series are all vintage rums that are produced according to an old Guatemalan recipe. The Malteco Seleccion 1987 is made from freshly pressed sugar cane juice and fermented with a specially bred, decades-old yeast strain that creates very characteristic ester notes. After distillation in column stills, the Malteco Seleccion 1987 was stored for more than 28 years in selected white oak barrels that previously contained the best Kentucky bourbon. That is a truly impressive age for a rum.
The bottle itself impresses with its unique design. Golden, curved arches run from the top into the cap and form a visual symbiosis with the decorations. The stylized silhouette of a legendary bird immediately catches the eye. This is the quetzal, native to Central America (after which the currency in Guatemala is also named), whose meter-long tail and exciting appearance are the subject of numerous myths and stories.
To complete the visual appearance, the Malteco Seleccion 1987 comes in an elaborately crafted wooden box decorated with a metal lock and fittings. On the front, the quetzal can be seen again in fiery red.
Tasting the Malteco Seleccion 1987:
The smell of the Malteco Seleccion 1987 surprises with a great combination of dark, heavy roasted and oak aromas and ester-rich tropical fruits. Bananas, mangos and papayas are accompanied by dark chocolate, roasted almonds, coffee beans and pastries. The fruitiness fades into the background over time and is replaced by sweet notes and oak. In addition, a light, earthy grassiness hovers over the remaining aromas.
On the tongue, the Malteco Seleccion 1987 is extremely mild and velvety soft. The oily distillate gently caresses the taste buds and lingers on the palate for a long time. The taste is characterized by harmonious roasted aromas and pleasant sweetness. Burnt caramel, roasted hazelnuts, freshly brewed coffee and fine dark chocolate with a high cocoa content combine with vanilla, brown sugar and candied fruit, as well as freshly baked bread with a dark crust. The strong oak spice of the Malteco Seleccion 1987 is always present and forms the flavor backbone that forms the basis for the balanced taste impressions. There is also a delicate smoky note in the background, which extends into the long, warming finish and provides additional complexity.
The Malteco Seleccion 1987 is an outstanding rum that is definitely unrivalled in its complexity and intensity of taste. An absolute must for rum fans.
