Sommelier's Selection
Description
In the 18th century, Spanish sailors traveled on their ships with many barrels full of sweet wine. However, when they reached the shores of Mexico, the barrels were empty, and on their way back, they decided to fill them with Mexican rum (Chinguirito). During the long journey back to Spain, the rum absorbed incredible aromas and sweetness from the leftover wine soaked into the barrel walls. Its fame spread instantly, and the new rum became a threat to local alcohol producers. King Philip V Bourbon was so enraged that he banned the sale of this rum for almost a century. That's where its name El ron Prohibido (the forbidden rum) comes from.
Ron Prohibido is still produced today using the same technology as in the 19th century, namely the use of sweet wine barrels and the Solera aging system. What's specific about it is the blending of rums from an older batch (more aged) with newer ones (younger). In this way, the old "educate" the young and improve their taste and character. The system consists of several rows of barrels (usually 3 or 4) built like a pyramid one above the other. Bottling takes place from the barrels in the bottom row, and immediately after, the system is refilled with new rum in the top barrels. The result is a blend of rums of various ages, with the oldest being from the year the Solera system was filled.
Ron Prohibido 12 is a blend of rums, the oldest of which is 12 years old.
