Ron Prohibido
- ' The Forbidden Rum'
- is a unique premium Latino rum from Mexico. Made in a traditional 12 year solera with a unique combination of column still rums, Ron Prohibido was shipped to Spain in the 17th century in used sweet wine barrels where the distinctive sweet & bitter taste it acquired during the voyage was much appreciated... so much so that local producers in Spain persuaded King Felipe V to ban it. Now, over 300 years later, this delicious rum is available in the UK for the first time. Appearance: Dark brown with hints of red. Aroma: Firstly, intense aromas of dried fruits, raisins & prunes, followed by tones of vanilla, walnut, butter, chocolate, & coffee. Taste: Raisins, prune, walnut wood, with hints of chocolate & coffee in a distinctly bitter-sweet combination. Finish: Long, silky, with a touch of caramel & a pleasant hint of bitterness on the finish.
