Ron Colon Salvadoreno Coffee Infused 111 Proof Rum

Ron Colon Salvadoreno Coffee Infused 111 Proof Rum

The coffee infused Ron Colón Salvadoreño is made with single estate beans grown on the side El Salvador’s famous Santa Ana volcano. Each step from growing, processing and roasting is done by Tomas and Andres Trigueros of Jags Head Coffee. The beans are dried using the natural process; consistently turned by hand to ensure they dry equally over a period of four weeks. This slow process allows for the bean to interact with the natural sugars from the cherry (the fruit around the bean) over a long period of time, giving the final bean a more fruit-forward flavor. Our goal was to bring together the best Salvadoran Coffee and Rum.

PROCESS

Ron Colón Salvadoreño Coffee Infused Rum 111 Proof is cold macerated with whole coffee beans for 48 hours. This allows enough time for the coffee beans to release their rich cherry, chocolate, and honey flavors before the bitter notes begin to impart on the liquid.

TASTING NOTES

The coffee infusion brings notes of dark chocolate and dried sticky plums. A medium to dark roast gives the rum a rich, warming, nutty flavor with a tiny hint of bitterness. This is balanced from the notes of the aged rum of fresh banana and juicy pineapple.
