Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood 0.7L 40% The history of Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood The Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is not just an ordinary rum. The Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is closely linked to the Caribbean as well as the Cognac region. The Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is produced in the heart of the Caribbean - more precisely in Barbados. Barbados has a long tradition of rum production. The first written mention dates back to 1647, but there is also evidence that rum was already being produced in Barbados at the beginning of the 17th century. The rum at that time had little in common with today's top products. Due to its rather poor quality, it was mainly drunk by slaves and locals. European spirits, such as cognac, were reserved for the European elite at the time. This changed over the years, however, as the distillation technology and production process for rum became more and more refined and it eventually found many fans in Europe and North America. Although rum is now produced on five continents, connoisseurs still consider rum from Barbados to be among the best products. This is due, among other things, to the high quality of the sugar cane used there and the care taken by the distilleries in processing it. The Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is also produced in a very traditional distillery. The production of the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood The Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood initially matures for several years in the best oak barrels in the humid and hot climate of the Caribbean. When the cellar master considers the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood to be ready to drink and balanced, it is exported to France/Ars with its natural alcohol content. Here the rum undergoes a second maturation - the so-called "double ageing". For this purpose, the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is transferred to barrels that previously contained cognac. The cellar master allows the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood to mature in the cognac barrels for up to a year, which gives the rum more elegance, finesse and character. This special type of maturation technique was already used in the 18th and 19th centuries, but was all but forgotten. The taste of the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood The bouquet of the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is characterized by exotic aromas such as coconut, cocoa and sugar cane. On the palate, the aromas of the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood then become somewhat more intense and nuances of vanilla and caramel mix into the taste profile. The impression on the palate is always very balanced and appears surprisingly round. The aftertaste of the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood is also impressive. It is long, warming and very flavorful. The second storage in cognac barrels makes the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood stand out from other rums. This makes enjoying the Kaniché Rum XO Double Wood a great experience!

Chairman's Reserve Rum The Forgotten Casks 0.7L 40% On May 2nd, 2007, the St. Lucia distillery was hit by a fire that destroyed large parts of the administration and bottling building.

Some of the barrels were forgotten and only rediscovered by chance years later. An initial taste test showed that these barrels had developed exceptionally well, which is why the distillery decided to make a special bottling.The rums that were stored in these forgotten former bourbon barrels were a blend of Coffey and pot still rums.

Havana Club Rum Seleccion de Maestros 0.7L 45% The history of Cuban rum It was Christopher Columbus who introduced the world-famous sugar cane to Cuba in 1493. The fertile soil and the ideal climatic conditions of the Caribbean ensured that the sugar cane could thrive. The locals, pirates and sailors quickly realised that the juice of the sugar cane could be easily fermented and used to make "Tafia" (an earlier variant of rum). Over the years, the so-called "Maestro Roneros" (rum masters) developed the art of distilling further and the first drinkable rums were brought onto the market. However, it was not until the 19th century that the quality of the rum really reached a decent level. This was mainly due to the introduction of copper distillation equipment and the first experiments with storage. The idea came from Pedro Diago, known as the father of Cuban rum, who filled the sugar cane spirits of the time into earthenware vessels and buried them in the ground. The result was a harmonious rum that lost much of its otherwise harsh character. Nevertheless, this new type of rum was not yet gentle enough for the Spanish royal family. The Spanish crown wanted a finer, lighter rum to satisfy the elite of the kingdom and the court. The result was Ron Superior, a refined, light, gentle, fresh rum that was first produced in the second half of the 19th century. Ron Superior spread quickly and is considered the father of today's Cuban rum. The production of rum at Havana Club As already mentioned, Cuba offers an excellent mixture of ideal climate and privileged soil. This results in excellent sugar cane, from which Havana Club selects only the freshest molasses. This molasses is mixed and fermented for a few days using pure water and yeast. This mixture, known as "Baticion", is then continuously distilled in column stills. The raw rum, also known as "Aquardientes", is then ready. This is followed by a long storage phase, after which the various rums are blended by the company's master blenders. This rum base is then mixed again with fresh sugar cane distillate and stored and mixed again until it is perfect for the respective rum class. One of the most important elements in this process are the oak barrels. Here, Havana Club uses both young barrels to bring color, aroma and expression to the rum, as well as older barrels that allow the rum to breathe and thus harmonize it. Only the best rum barrels for the Seleccion de Maestros The Maestros Roneros (the "rum masters") of Havana Club select some of the best barrels from the storage cellar for the "Selección de Maestros". These prestige rums are first set aside and tasted again after several years to check whether they still have the required quality. If this is the case, the rums are married and filled again into specially selected barrels that are chosen based on the aromatic and powerful potential of the wood. The Maestros Roneros then come together again and blend these barrels again before they are filled into the bottle directly from the barrel at 45% vol. This process is called "Cuban Barrel Proof" and produces a rum of exceptional quality with a particularly aromatic bouquet. This high quality has also been confirmed by many internationally recognized experts who awarded this special bottling the gold medal at three of the most influential spirits competitions (San Francisco World Spirits Award, Beverage Testing Institute's International Review of Spirits, International Wine and Spirit Competition). The taste of Havana Club Rum Seleccion de Maestros The amber-colored rum has a delicate bouquet of roasted pecans, spicy notes, tobacco and fine oak. The palate also reveals fine spice aromas that combine with earthy notes of coffee, cocoa and sweet tobacco. The long aftertaste is very full-bodied and impresses with delicate smoke and candied fruit. Overall, the rum conveys an impressive balance and offers enormous quality for its price!

Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba Liqueur 0.7 L, 34% The history of Cuban rum The production of rum has a long tradition in Cuba. This is due, among other things, to the quality of the excellent sugar cane that has always grown in Cuba. The inhabitants of Cuba realized centuries ago that the juice of the sugar cane can be fermented and made a type of sugar wine from it. When the technique of distilling was brought to Cuba from Europe, the owners of the newly established sugar cane plantations produced the first high-proof rums. This early form of rum, however, was not comparable to today's qualities, such as the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba, and was intended more as a drink for the slaves working on the farms. The immigrant Europeans, on the other hand, enjoyed local drinks such as brandy or sherry. The reputation of rum only increased in the 20th century, when old ways of thinking were abandoned and the quality of sugar cane distillates came close to that of European products. Cuban rum then made its breakthrough in the 1950s with brands that are still legendary today, such as Havana Club, and famous drinks like Cuba Libre. The production of the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba Liqueur The number of rums produced in Cuba has now become almost unmanageable. Nevertheless, there are some products, such as the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba, that stand out. Strictly speaking, the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba is not even a rum. Although the finest rum that has been aged for seven years is used as a base to produce the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba, many other ingredients are added. After the base rum has completed its seven-year maturation in oak barrels, it is mixed with a liqueur made from grape juice and macerated raisins. This creates the exclusive and delicate taste of the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba. The taste of the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba As you might expect from the manufacturing process, the taste of the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba is extraordinary. On the nose, the Legendario Rum Elixir de Cuba has fine dried fruit aromas. The smell of raisins is clearly in the foreground.
