El Ron Prohibido 12 Year Old (Parallel Import)
| Distillery | Not stated |
|---|---|
| Region | Mexico |
| Strength | 40% |
| Size | 700ml |
| Aged | 12 years |
| Packaging | Not included |
Matured for an average of 12 years using a solera system. American oak casks that previously held sweet fortified wine for a year contribute elegance and depth.
El Ron Prohibido recalls a story from the eighteenth century: empty casks used to ship Spanish sweet wine to the Americas were filled with Mexican chinguirito rum for the return voyage. At sea, the rum absorbed the wine's flavour and aroma and became popular in Spain. According to the brand's account, its popularity threatened domestic drinks producers, prompting Philip V to prohibit it and driving it underground for nearly a century. The producer uses its distinctive method to recreate the character of this forbidden rum from more than 300 years ago.
