Ron Izalco 15 Year Cask Strength Rum

Ron Izalco is the first brand from Phenomenal Spirits, founded in 2017 by Karthik Sudhir, a former Indian track athlete who studied distillation at Moonshine University. Phenomenal does not distill: Sudhir sources aged molasses rums from undisclosed Central American distilleries, each straight-aged in ex-bourbon barrels, and blends them in California, with Nicaraguan rum for structure, Panamanian for caramel and length, and Guatemalan for molasses and toasted oak. The label is the Izalco volcano in El Salvador, which erupted almost continuously from 1770 to 1958. The 15 Year Cask Strength is a blend of five rums from five Central American countries, each aged a minimum of fifteen years in ex-bourbon barrels at its own distillery, bottled at cask strength, 55.3% ABV (110.6 proof), with what Sudhir describes as zero additional ingredients: no sugar, no caramel, nothing. He designed it drier and earthier than the 10 Year, aimed at drinkers who like agricole or high-ester Jamaican rums. Published tasting notes describe apricot, prune, honey, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, aged oak and warm spice on the nose; baked pineapple, dried fruit, charred oak, baking spice and pipe tobacco on the palate; and a long, warm finish of oak, dark fruit and tobacco.
