PuntacanaXOX50AniversarioRum(700mL)

<p>A delightful Rum from the Dominican Republic solera-aged in Single Malt casks for a fruit-forward flavor profile.</p><p><em>Oliver Juanillo</em> came to Cuba in 1868 as a young Spanish soldier defending Spain’s claim on the territory. When his military service concluded, he founded a plantation farming tobacco and sugarcane. Within twenty years he was distilling Rum using the cane he grew — passing his plantation and <em>Oliver & Oliver Distillery</em> on to his children. But in 1963 the Cuban Communist Revolution forced the family to flee — but they didn’t go far. The next island over was Hispaniola, and the family set up shop once again on these friendly shores of the <em>Dominican Republic </em>where they distill some of the finest Dominican Rums to this very day under<em> nineteen different brands</em>.</p><p>For the Puntacana Rum line, Oliver & Oliver use <em>Tomatin Single Malt casks</em> to age the Rum. As the name implies, <em>Puntacana XOX 50 Aniversario Rum</em> was created to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the new Oliver Distillery in the Dominican Republic. The Spirit is Solera-aged up to <em>twenty-five years</em>, yielding a rich, fruit-forward experience.</p>
