Ron Colon Salvadoreno Coffee Infused Rum 111

Ron Colón Salvadoreño is built around El Salvador's only distillery, Licorera Cihuatán, where master blender Gabriela Ayala distills column-still rum from estate cane and ages it in ex-bourbon barrels, then blended with Jamaican pot-still rum from Worthy Park, Monymusk and Hampden for funk and weight the column rum lacks alone. The Coffee Infused 111 starts with the High Proof blend (70% six-year Salvadoran column rum, 30% Jamaican pot still) and cold-macerates it for 48 hours with whole medium-roast Bourbon Arabica beans, pulling the fruity side of the coffee and stopping before the bitter notes take over. The beans are single-estate, grown at about 1,700 meters on the Santa Ana volcano in the El Ciprés region, naturally processed and roasted by Tomas and Andres Trigueros of Jags Head Coffee. It is bottled at 55.5% ABV (111 proof) in a 750ml bottle. Published tasting notes describe toasted almonds, dark fruit and vanilla on the nose, dark chocolate and dried plums with a nutty warmth on the palate, a slight bitterness balanced by banana and tropical notes, and a dry finish of bitter coffee and nutty chocolate. Use it in a coffee Old Fashioned or a Daiquiri with a bitter edge.
