The Millonario XO Reserva Especial 40% comes from a distillation of sugarcane molasses carried out in Scottish-inspired column stills, allowing the production of distillates that are both rich and smooth. It then benefits from aging according to the traditional Solera method, involving the blending of the oldest spirits, which can be aged up to twenty years, to offer unparalleled depth. The barrels used for maturation are rigorously selected: ex-bourbon barrels, barrels that previously held noble Spanish wines or sherry, bringing to the rum a unique aromatic palette where creamy vanilla, generous dried fruits, and intense notes of melted caramel mingle. After many years of maturation and meticulous selection, only the highest quality batches are blended, before a precise reduction to 40% to ensure optimal gustatory harmony and great smoothness on the palate. Each bottle of Millonario XO stands as a rare tasting rum, perfect for meditation or sharing during exceptional moments. Order this exceptional rum on Clos des Spiritueux, the online store of reference for discerning enthusiasts seeking the best Peruvian rums.
On tasting, Millonario XO Reserva Especial reveals a magnificent deep mahogany color with attractive coppery highlights, symbolizing concentrated aromatic richness. The nose, particularly expressive and opulent, reveals notes of butter caramel, Bourbon vanilla, intense dark chocolate, dried fruits (fig, date, raisin), honey, and soft spices such as cinnamon and clove. On the palate, the attack is decidedly velvety and creamy, offering exceptional smoothness, supported by nuances of toffee, candied fruits, roasted nuts, and delicate coffee. The texture, completely round, envelops the palate without any aggressiveness, extending a gourmand pastry register through to the finish. The finish, long and warm, seduces with its delicate woody touch, accents of soft caramel, dried fruits, and a subtle note of blond tobacco, perfect to accompany, for example, a chocolate dessert, a nut tart, a refined cigar, or a sweet and savory cuisine around duck and caramelized pork. A meditation rum par excellence, the Millonario XO Reserva Especial will hold a place of honor in all great spirit cellars and is indispensable on Clos des Spiritueux, expert in prestigious rums and rare spirits.
