North Wales's International Storytelling Through Superior Mixing Snowdonia distillery, the producer of Foragers Gin, Y Bēt Vodka, El Rumbo Rum, and line of Marsette is the First leg A journey worth taking “ - Cuba to Snowdonia From its origins in Cuba, where the director has travelled extensively tasting rums from different distilleries. El Rumbo comes from the oldest of them. Translated from Spanish means ‘the course’, as in to set course, which is exactly what this rum has done. Using Cuban molasses, which is plentiful on the island, using a relatively short fermentation process. From the “aguardiente” distillate, Cuba uses charcoal filtration which removes most of the unpleasant flavours, then goes on to age 3 years in amazing white oak casks. The rum is flown halfway across the globe, to be received at the distillery and turned into one of 3 incredible spirits. The flagship, simply titled El Rumbo, and his arguably older brother the Anjeo are immediately transferred into freshly emptied Cognac casks. The casks are delivered to Snowdonia from Tiffon, the highly 2 regarded Cognac maker with over 40 hectares of vines in both the Grande Champagne and Fins Bois regions. The delivery of these casks are coordinated with the arrival of the rum to ensure the freshest casks. This instantly changes the experience from one of youthful, playful, crystal clear white rum, to a mature, distinguished player in the world of rum. This is thanks to both the fantastic wood and previous lodger of the barrel.
Known as El Rumbo’s older brother, translates to ‘Golden Aged’. This both explains their fond nickname and exactly what it is. The Rum is left in the same casks for so long, that the colour adapts to the warmest of sunrise gold or ‘Aur (eye-urr)’ in welsh. The taste reflects the colour of the rum with its intensity, maturity, and presence. The last of the distillery’s Rum line (for now) is the coconut Rum. The distillery continues their promise of only using the best, freshest ingredients they can get their hands on. They may not be blessed with the paradisiacal environment to grow coconuts, but they work with local grocers to get the freshest coconuts from around the world. All the milk and flesh is used to deliver the true coconut taste. For that twist of sweetness, natural sugar cane is used. The perfect balance will bring you to the brightest Cuban beach, no matter where in the world you are! The Sun Also Rises Ingredients:
