DESCRIPTION
The Naud Family’s rum journey continues in Venezuela. Here, they have joined forces with Destilería Sofa, an authentic Hacienda which shares their passion for the Art of Distillation and Ageing.
The sugar cane is cultivated on some of the most fertile lands in Venezuela, not far from Caracas and harvested from November to February. After fermentation, the sugar cane molasses, nick-named “Black Gold”, is distilled on columns. The hot and humid daytimes and the cool and dry nights provide an ideal climate for ageing rum in ex-Bourbon casks.
To perfect its aromatic pallet, NAUD RON VENEZUELA 12 Y.O. matures for around 6 months in French oak casks in the humid Naud Family cellars.
TASTING NOTES
Color
Amber with mahogany sparkles.
Nose
Delicate notes of patisserie caramel and muscovado sugar, light hints of coconut, cedarwood and oak which result from ageing in ex-Bourbon casks, in tropical conditions.
Palate
Silky and structured, evolves onto patisserie notes, roasted coffee beans and fig jam. The finish is persistent, boasting soft spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) and vanilla conveyed by the extra
ageing in French oak.
