SAMAROLI SPANISH SOUL RUM NV 48% 750ML SPECIAL ORDER, ALLOW 4 WEEKS

SPECIAL ORDER, ALLOW 4 WEEKS Samaroli – Spanish Soul Rum (Aged 12 Years, Distilled in 2007, Bottled in 2019, Belize Travellers, Selected Cask # 5, 359 Bottles, 48% ABV) The soul of rum is that Spanish gold that gradually reached the remotest corners of Patagonia, setting off from Hispaniola on 12th October 1492. This was the start of a tremendous coming and going of missionaries, monks, conquerors, pirates, cadets of all sorts and more besides; bringing passion, a longing for redemption and a desire to succeed, all compelled to leave the old world behind and start anew. We’ve all imagined (or will imagine) at some point, climbing aboard a caravel, a sailing ship or a transatlantic liner to sail west on the ocean waves. Enlivened by this “nuevo” sentiment, we resolved to create a Spanish style rum, with the burning passion of the tales of Don Quixote and the raucousness of Pamplona during the festival. The opulently scented bouquet is dominated by hints of tropical plants and fruits. The first whiff on the nose brings an immediate, powerful punch of molasses. The glass then gradually reveals a powerful body, with good structure propped up by a round, enveloping flavour. The aromatic finish veers towards scents of tobacco, vanilla and liquorice. “Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Bottled in Scotland in 2019. 2007 Belize Travellers (BR – Column Still – Molasses).
