On the first day of Christmas we have an old acquaintance from Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos distillery, an ex Ron Esclavo 12 with a new name Patridom 12 Selección Exclusiva. As all Dominican rums this rum also has a protected designation of origin (PDO). That means that Patridom 12 Selección Exclusiva comes from sugarcane harvested on the island, and it was fermented, distilled and aged minimal one year in oak barrels on the island.
APPEARANCE
In glass it is a clear spirit with medium intensity and golden to amber color. It looks much lighter than it looks in the bottle.
NOSE
On the first comes clean and pronounced vanilla with hints of floral aromas.
On the second come raisins with molasses and fruit cake.
PALATE
Dry with mouth filling and warming feeling after first sip. and pronounced aromas of vanilla, fruit cake and honey. Somewhere in the background is possible to feel aroma of figs and a little hint of leather. Finish is medium but very complex
CONCLUSION
With its dominant vanilla aroma and flavor Patridom 12 Selección Exclusiva crates together with other aromas like molasses, honey and fruit cake a very good almost outstanding rum. If just a finish was a little bit longer…
