Ron Cristóbal Santa Maria Islay Cask Finish is a premium Dominican rum from the limited-edition Santa Maria series. This edition underwent secondary aging in a cask previously used for whiskey from the island of Islay, which is known for its distinctly smoky and peaty whiskeys. The result is an unconventional rum with a deeper, smoky, and slightly peaty character.
Production:
The rum was distilled in 2007 and bottled in August 2022 in a limited run of only 1,509 bottles. Thanks to its 15-year aging, it offers a mature profile that blends the sweetness of Dominican rum with the distinct influence of the whiskey cask. Its gift packaging makes it an attractive choice for collectors, rum connoisseurs, and lovers of unconventional finishes.
Tasting Profile:
Aroma: A clean, smoky aroma with notes of leather, fire, and wood. These are complemented by fruity notes of candied papaya and orange marmalade.
Taste: Sweet, with notes of honey, marshmallow, and a hint of citrus. The peat influence from the cask is reminiscent of smoked bacon.
Finish: A smoky, peaty, and slightly sweet-fruity finish that echoes the character of the Islay whiskey cask.
Ron Cristóbal Santa Maria Islay Cask Finish is a rum for those who enjoy the contrast between a sweet rum base and a smoky whiskey character. It is perfect for slow sipping, tasting, and as a unique gift for more experienced spirits enthusiasts.
