The award-winning Ron Medellin Gran Reserva 12 Años is a blend of the finest Colombian rums that were aged naturally in American oak barrels between 8 and 12 years at 5,000 feet above sea level. Only the finest sugar cane is selected from various regions of Colombia and the long maturation period in noble wood smoothens out the flavor of this exquisite expression, while the low temperatures reduce the angel's share. This is a complex, smoky and smooth rum with a unique character. While the flavor profile is complex enough to stand beautifully on its own, it's also perfect as a cocktail base.
The wood together with the time transform ardor and crudeness, in softness and smoothness; for these properties it presents a personality of its own and a good body; a pleasant and uniform taste of great fineness, roundness and delicacy. These flavors and smells make them, a rum with greater personality, consistency and uniform characteristics, more palpable for human consumption with a characteristic dark brown color.
