Rum Tasting on March 19th
In March, the Whisky Club of Big Canoe will host a Rum Tasting event. Rum tastings offer a rich exploration of flavors, especially when sampling premium rums from Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Colombian rums, like Dictador and La Hechicera, are known for their smooth, caramelized notes with hints of oak and spice. Meanwhile, Dominican rums, such as Brugal, Barceló, and Ron Matusalem, often present a sweeter profile with vanilla, honey, and dried fruit undertones. Both countries use traditional aging methods, usually employing the solera system to enhance complexity. A proper rum tasting involves nosing the aromas, sipping slowly, and appreciating the evolving flavors on the palate. Pairing these rums with dark chocolate or a quality cigar can further elevate the experience. Whether you prefer the bold character of Colombian rum or the silky smoothness of Dominican varieties, each tasting tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition.
