Samaroli Caribbean Rum 2003 is a blend of rums produced in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Venezuela and Cuba, the latter being the most dominant. After selecting the casks of rum, Samaroli transported them to Scotland, where they are aged for eight years. The frigid winters of Scotland, which are followed by mild summers, are “ideal”for the maturation of rum, says Samaroli, and allow the rum to be matured longer without the notes of wood overpowering the flavor of the rum. Once the rums reached their peak maturity, Samaroli blended and bottled the casks, which produced only 648 bottles of rum.
