Back to Columbia, our next rum was from Gobernador, with the oldest rum matured for 12 years. Now this rum was a real treat!

Ron Gobernador 12 year 35%

• Nose – Prunes, dates and plums! Christmas pudding, very rich, lots of candied dry fruits, simply gorgeous
• Palate – Wow! Rich and complex without being overly sweet, just superb
• Finish – Very dry finish, slightly salty at the end

For most of this, this was a clear winner. It also went beautifully with a cigar.

Here are the Columbian rums we enjoyed that same evening:

• La Hechicera 40%
• Beluarte 8 year 35% (Dictador)
• Dictador Esencia 25 year 40%

Plus a bonus rum from The Syechelles:

• Takamaka 8 year 40%
