Black Rum by Ron Contrabando pays homage to the early adventurers of the Caribbean, who sought new routes, territories and treasure or simply plundered, with rum as their faithful companion.
Luis Caballero fuses in this rum the delicacy of Oliver&Oliver’s Dominican rums with the unique nuances of Lustau casks, aged in Jerez de la Frontera, thus creating an authentic homage to the adventurous spirit and legacy of rum.
A Gran Reserva 15 rum, aged by the solera system in American white oak barrels with a high degree of toasting that gives it that dark colour so characteristic of the first rums that accompanied the expeditions to the Caribbean Sea. It finishes its refinement with a double ageing in Lustau casks that had Pedro Ximénez, giving it that elegant and abocado finish.
A unique and distinguished rum, aimed at those who live the sea and adventure as the essence of their lives, connoisseurs of tradition in the making of authentic things and who are proud of their origins.
In recognition of this travelling spirit, as you enjoy Black Rum, you will discover on the bottle itself the navigation chart of the Caribbean Sea, which was followed by the first adventurers who sailed these waters and which takes us back to its origins, the Dominican Republic.
Smooth, sweet, complex and full-bodied. The high toasting of the American white oak barrels gives it its characteristic dark colour and notes of vanilla, French crème brulee and chocolate.
It has been refined in Lustau barrels with Pedro Ximénez, which gives it a sweet and ripe fruit finish. Long, distinguished and harmonious finish.
Slowly enjoy the unique flavour of this rum where the best of two worlds have come together, the delicacy of Oliver&Oliver’s Dominican rums and the unique nuances of Lustau’s casks.
