Ron Abuelo "Two Oaks" now complements BORCO's rum portfolio
News General news
With the "Two Oaks" bottling, Ron Abuelo from Panama is now expanding its rum portfolio on the German market. The novelty is now being offered by the Hanseatic family-owned company BORCO for an RRP of 49.99 euros (0.7) in selected grocery stores, specialist shops and online retailers. With this new product, Ron Abuelo bridges the gap between the classic range and the Finish Collection and is intended to inspire discerning rum connoisseurs who love adventure.
As the name suggests, this exceptional rum is aged for 12 years in two different casks. Initially matured in hand-selected oak barrels, it is finished in a first-fill, heavily burnt American white oak barrel from California's Napa Valley. The use of the two cask types produces a remarkably mild flavour profile.
The special barrels are burnt out over a period of 60 minutes at 180°C to first break up the wood structure. The heat is then increased to 220°C to create an 8 mm thick layer of charcoal. This two-step process releases the optimal aromas bound in the wood, as the more heavily treated surface allows the distillate to penetrate even deeper into the wood.
