24 Days of Rum (#12) – Coloma 8 Anos Rum (Colombia)
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 12, 2019
We have returned to the South American Continent for the twelfth day of my Christmas Rum Advent. Coloma 8 Anos Rum is produced in Colombia at the Hacienda Coloma which is a coffee estate located south of Bogota, 1700 meters above see level. The Hacienda Coloma does not appear to have a rum distillery attached to its facility so it is likely that the rum bottled at the coffee estate was produced elsewhere (there are a couple of likely candidates within Colombia). According to the Ron Coloma website this is a molasses based, age stated rum, which was matured continuously in American oak barrels. (Non Solera Aging).
What makes the rum unique, is that after the initial aging, the spirit is then finished in barrels previously used for aging Coloma coffee liqueur. Thus a light ribbon of coffee flavour can be expected to be found within the rum’s flavour profile.
Here is a link to my tasting notes and scores for the No. 12 spirit in the 24 Days of Rum – The Original Rum Tasting Box:
