Duncan Taylor Big Smoke 50%

Terra Verde RETRO is an Original Dominican spirit inspired by the colorful and carefree cocktail culture of the 1990s. Crafted from sugar cane and aged in bourbon barrels, it blends classic craftsmanship with playful flavor infusions to reimagine the era when cocktails were bold, fruity, and full of personality.

The aged rum Botran Roaju celebrates the exceptional heritage of the Botran Merino brothers, visionary pioneers who left the fertile lands of Duero in Spain to establish their roots in the heart of Guatemala. This liquid gem embodies the captivating first expression of the Roaju cuvée, a meticulous blend of rums aged in barrels steeped in history. The magic of Botran lies in the expert use of various casks: ex-Bourbon barrels, re-charred Bourbon barrels, ex-Sherry barrels, and ex-Port barrels, following a dynamic aging method. Refined in ex-Spanish wine barrels from Burgos, this rum offers a unique identity, rich in nuances and character.
