Equipo Navazos La Bota de Ron 65 Bota NO Single Cask 44% ABV

La Bota de Ron 65 "Bota NO" is a single cask rum from Equipo Navazos, the Jerez-based team behind the La Bota series. It comes from one of the old ex-oloroso butts in the solera that supplies the bottler's cask-strength rum, a single butt emptied specially for this release. Rather than bottling at the cask's natural strength of around 50%, Equipo Navazos reduced it to 44% ABV, and the rum carries an average age of fifteen to twenty years. Bottled in Jerez de la Frontera in April and May 2016, it ran to 800 bottles of 70cl. It was not chill filtered and, as with all Equipo Navazos releases, contains no additives of any kind for colour, sweetness or aroma. The producer describes a powerful cane-driven core paired with a smooth, silky texture.

Serve: Neat, at room temperature.
