MILLONARIO - 10 YEARS - Aniversario Cincuenta - 50%
The Millonario distillery, emblematic of northern Peru, draws its inspiration from the heart of sun-drenched sugarcane terroirs, influenced uniquely by the Pacific Ocean. For over half a century, this house has crafted rums recognized for their aromatic intensity, roundness, and accessibility, thanks to the rigorous selection of local molasses and tropical aging that enhances the rum's natural aromas. Millonario's philosophy is based on craftsmanship, slow distillation, and aging in oak barrels chosen for their quality. The range appeals to connoisseurs with its perfect balance of indulgence, softness, and complexity, with rums designed for pure tasting and the demands of spirit enthusiasts.
