Rum Guyana Remember Moon Import by Pepi Mongiardino Vol.45% Cl.70

Rum (in French rhum, in English rum, in Spanish ron) is produced by distilling an infusion of fermented sugar, coming from sugar cane, and water.

Guyana is the most famous rum producer in the world. In fact, Demerara Distillers is based in Guyana.

If pure cane juice is used as sugar, an agricultural rum is obtained, of decidedly superior quality, normally distilled with a pot still, as for the best cognacs and scotch whiskies.

If, on the other hand, molasses is used for the infusion, which is the residue of sugar extraction from cane juice, an industrial rum is obtained, for which a column still is normally used.

Pepi Mongiardino, travels the world, visits the best distilleries and selects the best rums produced.

Pepi Mongiardino's selection of rums is exclusive to Moon Import.

This Rum is distilled in Guyana and then aged in Scotland.

Like all the Moon Import selection, this rum also ages in Scotland where it is subsequently bottled.

The rums of the Moon Import selection come from original barrels, aged in Scotland and individually selected and bottled in the same place, as Scotland is the region of the world where the maturation of alcohol is the best and most regular compared to all other countries.

The color of the rum in the Moon Import selection is determined by the length of aging in oak barrels, but also by the product contained in the barrel in its previous use.

If, for example, the cask has contained Sherry for a certain period, the rum from the Moon Import selection will absorb the tannins and will have a darker color than if the cask had previously contained another distillate.

The experience and ability of the Scots in the art of aging Whiskey is crucial in enhancing the characteristics of a great Rum.

Tasting notes:

Nose: mimosa, toffee and roasted chestnut.

Palate: Licorice root, carob, sea salt with a mouth drying finish.

To be combined with powerful cigars full of aroma such as Cohiba Beike or Cohiba Maduro Magicos.

This Guyana remember rum by Pepi Mongiardino and Moon Import certainly has nothing to envy to the most concentrated or most famous rums in the world. A rum for connoisseurs and collectors.
