Ron Roble Viejo Extra Añejo

A GENUINE 8-12 YEAR AGED VENEZUELAN RUM - NO SOLERA, NO DECEPTION - Ron Roble Viejo Extra Añejo is a blend of rum reserves aged between 8 and 12 years, matured in ex-Bourbon American white oak barrels in the traditional method. Unlike many Latin rums that use misleading solera-style age labelling, Ron Roble's age statement is honest: every drop in this bottle has spent a minimum of 8 years in wood. CRAFTED NEAR CARACAS BY MASTER DISTILLER GIORGIO MELIS - 50+ YEARS' EXPERIENCE - Ron Roble is produced by Rones de Caribe at their distillery near Caracas, Venezuela, from sugarcane molasses sourced from the Yucatán Valley. The wash is distilled in a 5-column still before ageing in 220-litre ex-Bourbon oak barrels. The blend is crafted under the expertise of Master Distiller Giorgio Melis, one of the most experienced figures in the Latin American rum industry. VENEZUELA'S FINEST TRADITION - FROM THE HOME OF DIPLOMATICO, SANTA TERESA & CACIQUE - Venezuela is one of the world's great rum-producing nations, and Ron Roble Viejo sits comfortably alongside its celebrated neighbours. At 40% ABV, it delivers the signature character of the Venezuelan style: elegantly balanced, smooth, and sophisticated - a premium rum that pairs naturally with chocolate, cigars, or sipping neat in a Copita glass. VANILLA, OAK, CARAMEL & TOASTED NUTS - BALANCED, SMOOTH & SURPRISINGLY FRESH - The nose is soft and inviting: brown sugar, burnt caramel, molasses, cinnamon, and vanilla, with layers of toasted nuts and lightly smoked wood. On the palate: caramel, vanilla, roasted almonds, and balanced tannins from years in ex-Bourbon oak, with a mineral edge and delicate spice. The finish is long, smooth, and surprisingly fresh for an aged rum of this depth. SIPPING RUM AT ITS BEST - NEAT, OVER ICE OR IN PREMIUM COCKTAILS - Best enjoyed neat in a Copita or snifter glass, or over a single large ice cube to open the vanilla and caramel notes. An outstanding base for a rum Old Fashioned or elevated Mojito. Pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate (70%+) and premium cigars. A sophisticated and distinctive rum gift for any enthusiast.
