TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: From the opening, a captivating aroma of sandalwood and cinnamon emerges, accompanied by gentle spices that awaken the senses. A delicate floral touch, dominated by elderflower, hints at an intense and refined tasting experience.
PALATE: On the palate, the power asserts itself while maintaining admirable harmony. The spices from the nose reappear brilliantly, enhanced by a persistent floral touch. The high alcohol content (62.5%) is perfectly integrated, offering a controlled intensity that never overwhelms the palate but structures it elegantly.
FINISH: The finish is long and expressive, marked by toasted and subtle notes reminiscent of 75% intense cocoa. A roasted and delicately bitter sensation extends the experience, leaving an indelible memory.

Brazil is very famous for being one of the largest producers of cacao and coffee in the world. It was natural for us to associate these notes with our Gran Chaco Brazil Rum. The design of the bottle was inspired by Brazilian wildlife: the patterns represent some of Brazil's most emblematic animals. The color green was chosen to represent the country and suggest the natural habitat of its wildlife.

The rum is aged using the solera process for aging spirits, in which barrels containing older spirits are “topped off” and married with younger spirit from other barrels as the angel’s share takes its toll. Afterwards the rums blended are aged again in Single Malt Scotch Whisky oak barrels for at least 6 months. By the time, the rum is bottled. “Rum Cañero Finnished Malt Scotch Whisky” has been created personally by the great RUM MASTER JUAN ALBERTO ALVAREZ, professional with huge experience on the Rum Art, which has been developed among very well known distilleries throughout all Caribbean.
