Ron Izalco 18 Year Cask Strength Private Reserve Rum is a limited-edition, full-bodied expression crafted for rum purists and high-proof spirits enthusiasts. Produced by Phenomenal Spirits and sourced from prime Central American distilleries, this rum stands out by avoiding the added sugars, artificial flavorings, or chill filtration commonly found in the regional style.
Key Specifications
Because it is released in distinct single-barrel selections, store picks, and small batches, specific measurements can vary slightly depending on the exact bottling:
- Age: Minimum of 18 years, aged entirely in oak barrels.
- Proof / ABV: Typically bottled between 130.2 to 131.4 proof (65.1% to 65.7% ABV), though certain single-barrel selections have been found up to 135 proof (67.5% ABV).
- Additives: Completely zero dosage (no added sugar) and no additives.
Profile and Tasting Notes
The high proof drives an intense, deeply interactive tasting profile that evolves remarkably in the glass, making it highly appealing to seasoned bourbon and rye drinkers.
- Nose: Prominent aromas of dark caramel, vanilla bean, butterscotch, toasted oak, sweet pipe tobacco, and warm baking spices.
- Palate: Big, bold, and viscous. It leads with layers of dark chocolate ganache, toffee, honey, and baked brown-sugar pineapple, followed by an unexpected, bright streak of fruit acidity.
- Finish: A long, smooth finish where the intense barrel heat is balanced out by lingering baking spices, soft wood tannins, and a touch of dark molasses sweetness.
