Rum Trinidad 15 Anni Moon Import 2006

With its sweet and harmonious character, Moon Import's Trinidad Rum 15 Anni is the ideal distillate to round off a dinner party with fine dark chocolates. As its name suggests, this rum is made from sugar cane grown on the island of Trinidad and Tobago, off the Venezuelan coast. As with other Caribbean countries, sugar cane cultivation was once the major economic resource for Trinidad and Tobago.
Moon Import Trinidad Rum 15 Anni is made from sugar cane plants grown in Trinidad and Tobago. From the pressing of the ripe plants, the juice is obtained, which is then started in alcoholic fermentation through the action of yeasts. After a few days of fermentation, distillation is carried out in Patent Still continuous stills and the liquid is then transferred to Scotland for ageing for a good 15 years in oak casks. The decision to age the rum in Scotland is due both to the country's unique climatic conditions, which create an ideal environment for the correct and regular sensory evolution of the distillate, and to the long and established tradition of the Scottish people in the art of whisky ageing. Once the long maturation period is over, the rum is finally bottled and marketed under the Moon Import brand.
On visual inspection, Moon Import's Rum Trinidad 15 Anni expresses an intense amber colour with brilliant reflections. The olfactory range recalls persuasive and sweet scents of sultanas, dried fruit, nuts and vanilla, supported by hints of citrus on the finish. The sweet notes are confirmed on the palate with perceptions of honey and milk chocolate that blend harmoniously with pungent sensations of pink pepper and ginger.
