Ron Unhiq XO Unique Malt Rum 30 Years

Although the concept of "malted rum" may seem unfamiliar to most rum consumers, it is nonetheless a product that has its roots in 19th century Cuban ronera culture. During those years, the vast majority of ron came from the distillation of sugar cane molasses, with an alcohol content of about 90% at the origin, which was then diluted. With distillation in alembic, on the other hand, aguardienti between 45 and 50 degrees of alcohol were obtained, intended for consumption without further dilution. In the Cubanacan area, later renamed Las Villas, a small and selected group of distillers conceived the production of distillates between 72 and 74 degrees, which were then placed on the market at 42 degrees. The result was a much more delicate and soft rum than aguardienti, but with a fuller and more pleasant bouquet than 90° distillates. This name was given to him by a Greek priest of Hispanic origin, parish priest in the municipality of Las Placetas and a great admirer of the ron in the area. Father Pertika noticed that this new flavor of ron reminded him of the honey of his childhood and since "malt" is the Greek name for honey, he coined the term "ron de malta" for the new product. The original formula of "malt rum" was recovered by Nancy G. de Blank, wife of a descendant of don Juanillo Oliver, great Cuban producer of rum of the 19th century. A handcrafted, unique, excellent and inimitable limited edition ron characterized by aromas, taste and bouquet of excellence.
