Ron Millonario 10 Aniversario Reserva

Ron Millonario 10 Aniversario Reserva is made to celebrate 10 years of the first rum from Peru. Here we are talking about different rums, which are mixed to give a good balance between different flavors and the cask aging. The majority comes from younger rums that have been matured in used Bourbon casks. A smaller portion from slightly nobler rum that has been matured in used Spanish sherry casks.

Scent: light with notes of honey, bergamot tea, vanilla and a hint of caramel.
Taste: Light and fresh with notes of chestnut, acacia honey, candied citrus fruits and raisin. Then comes a weaker note of nuts, chocolate and plum and apricot.
Aftertaste: Finally, a very faint peppery note is perceived, which comes from the alcohol.

Ron Millonario 10 Aniversario Reserva is produced at a distillery in the north of Peru. Distillery Pomalca in the town of Chiclayo.

Rome in this Millonario 10th. are casks from different rums to give a good balance between different flavor nuances. The majority comes from younger rum that has been matured in used Bourbon casks and a smaller part from slightly older rum that has been matured in used Spanish sherry casks.

Fabio Rossi:

In 2004, spirits expert Fabio Rossi was traveling in northern Peru. On his way through a small town called Chiclayo, he came across a small and totally unknown distillery. Here he quickly realized that he had stumbled upon one of Peru's treasures, and the result was Ron Millonario – an absolutely formidable rum, made in a small local community.

The sugarcane used in the rum is harvested from fields near the distillery. The area where Chiclayo is located is warm and very humid, and thus has the perfect conditions for growing sugar cane. The pipes are harvested once a year by the locals, and the fermentation also takes place with local yeast.

The first distillation takes place in an old column boiler, which the locals call "Skotten" because it was brought over from Great Britain in its time. The rum is then distilled twice more, and now it is finally ready to be aged in oak casks, which have previously been used for bourbon and wine.

In addition to employing the village with sugarcane cultivation and distillery work, Ron Millonario also helps to employ the village's women – the bast wrapper that the Reserva Especial release comes in is woven by hand by the local women.
