Equipo Navazos La Bota 65 Ron Single Cask, Bota NO

Bottled in 2016. 44% abv. This Rum was bottled from the same set of casks that gave birth to Equipo Navazos’ collaboration with New York spirits guru, Nicolas Palazzi. Distilled in the Antilles and aged on-site in first-fill Bourbon casks for a little over five years, this Rum was then shipped to Jerez where it was transferred to freshly emptied Oloroso casks, where it rested until bottling. Only 800 bottles were filled.

Now between 15 and 20 years old, this single-cask bottling is a genuinely exceptional aged Rum and unlike anything that’s currently on the market. 

Expect a spirit of tremendous structure and elegance, (not the rusticity that we have now been conditioned to expect from the Rum category), with a bright, silky palate offering waves of dried stone fruits, candied citrus, subtle resin and lifted floral notes. The finish is as fine as could be, with almost invisible spirit and a vibrantly fresh close.
