Rum Domenican Republic Remember Moon Import Vol.45% Cl.70

The Dominican Republic or as we know it Santo Domingo, is the homeland of cigars and rum after Cuba.

Selection of Dominican rums made by Pepi Mongiardino for his line of cheap rums "Remember di Moon Import".

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.

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

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

In the case of Dominican Republic Remember rum, the best and most fragrant sugar cane molasses grown in Santo Domingo is used.

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

The selection of Remember rums by Pepi Mongiardino is exclusive to Moon Import.

This Remember Rum is distilled in the Dominican Republic by one of the island's historic distilleries then aged in Scotland in oak barrels.

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

 Rhum from the Moon Import selection comes from original barrels, aged in Scotland and selected and bottled individually 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 Rum is determined by the duration of aging in oak barrels, but also by the product contained in the barrel in its previous use.

For example, if the barrel has contained Sherry for a certain period, the Rum will absorb the tannins and will have a darker color than if the barrel had previously contained another distillate.

The experience and ability of the Scots in the art of whiskey aging is decisive in exalting the characteristics of a great Rum.
