Smuggler’s Treasure The Forbidden Blend 70 cl. 40%
Premium Aged Blended Rum
Smuggler’s Treasure – The Forbidden Blend is a sophisticated rum that embodies the Latin American rum tradition through a carefully crafted blend of distillates from Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. The result is a spirit of depth and elegance, offering a rich tasting experience with a perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and complexity.
Origin and production
This rum is created in collaboration between the renowned distilleries DARSA in Guatemala and Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos in the Dominican Republic. It is made from molasses distilled in column stills, a method that produces a smooth and clean spirit with a distinctive aromatic profile. The blend includes rums aged between 3 and 8 years in a tropical climate, mostly in ex-bourbon casks. This maturation imparts characteristic notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, while the warm climate accelerates the aging process and enhances depth of flavor.
Nose and aroma
The aroma is inviting and complex, with clear notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and bourbon vanilla. Subtle undertones of roasted coffee, toffee, and a hint of tropical fruit add nuance and intrigue.
Palate and finish
On the palate, the rum is velvety and rounded, with a noticeable sweetness balanced by gentle spice. Flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, and toasted coconut stand out, accompanied by hints of cocoa, cinnamon, and lightly roasted oak. The texture is smooth and creamy, making it both approachable and layered.
The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of vanilla cream, pastry spices, and a touch of oak that stays pleasantly on the tongue.
Overall impression
Smuggler’s Treasure – The Forbidden Blend unites the best of two rum cultures: the fruity sweetness of Guatemala and the spicy finesse of the Dominican Republic. It is ideal for sipping neat to appreciate its balance and complexity, yet also serves as a refined base for premium cocktails.
This is a rum that manages to be both accessible and sophisticated – a perfect choice for newcomers as well as seasoned enthusiasts.
