Using rums from Nicaragua, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica this is a bold style rum that has a pleasant "Cigar" type of finish (think Joseph Magnus Cigar Batch that's triple finished and wonderfully sweet. Like a dormant volcano, Phenomenal Spirits waits until just the right moment to unleash its Ron Izalco rum.

For this blend of Central America's most flavorful rums, the perfect amount of time was 10 years. For a decade, the masterfully blended rum sat in ex bourbon barrels. The award-winning Ron Izalco is beautifully balanced, full-bodied rum. It awakens you with ripe aromas of fruit that move to undertones of American Oak, toasted nuts and sweet pipe tobacco.

Aroma: Beautiful aromas of butterscotch, apricot, prune, honey, caramel with lovely hints of deep candied brown sugar and tobacco.

Taste: Wonderfully mellow and sweet with vanilla, nutmeg, tobacco sweetness and even more brown sugar, candy, honey and caramels. This would be a very nice rum to enjoy with a medium bodied cigar.

Finish: The finish is long, sweet, and everlasting. This is just a fantastic rum that was worthy of a pick from us!
