NICARAGUA RUM 1999 45% MOON IMPORT - BOTTLED 2017

The Nicaragua Rum 1999 45% Moon Import - Bottled 2017 is an exquisite and rare expression of Nicaraguan rum, showcasing the excellence in craftsmanship of both the distillery and the bottler. This vintage rum, distilled in 1999, captures nearly two decades of maturation, having been bottled in 2017.

This rum hails from the tropical landscapes of Nicaragua, a country renowned for its fertile soil and ideal conditions for producing high-quality sugarcane, the primary ingredient in rum production. Nicaragua's rum tradition is deeply rooted in its history, making its rums highly regarded by connoisseurs around the world.

One distinctive feature of this rum is its aging process, referred to as continental aging. Unlike tropical aging, which occurs in the rum's native hot, humid climate, continental aging refers to the rum being matured in relatively cooler and less humid conditions. This method allows for a slower maturation process, often resulting in a more refined and balanced spirit.

The bottler behind this rare gem is Moon Import, an esteemed name in the world of independent bottling. Moon Import is known for its selective and meticulous approach to curation, ensuring only the finest spirits are chosen for their portfolio. Their expertise and dedication to quality are evident in every bottle they release.

This particular bottling is part of a limited release, with only 313 bottles available, making it a highly desirable collector's item. It was drawn from cask number 4, highlighting its unique character and individuality. The rum is bottled at a strength of 45%, offering a balanced and robust flavor profile that is both complex and approachable.

The bottle size is a standard 70 cl, which is typical for premium spirits, ensuring that enthusiasts receive a generous amount to savor. The limited number of bottles and the reputation of both the brand and the bottler make this Nicaragua Rum a must-have for any serious rum aficionado.
