Cabezon in Spanish means "Pig-Headed" (wilfully uncompromising).
Ron Cabezon starts its' journey by aging a traditional, Caribbean rum, made from natural sugar cane for 5 years. The rum is then sent to the cool Scottish climate where the rum is split into 2 batches before undergoing a unique process and being blended together again prior to bottling.
One batch will go for a fruit maceration over a period of weeks, and the inclusion of Arabian cubebs to add a slight smokiness to the flavour, as well as West African Kola nut. This adds a hint of spiciness which works well with Cola based mixers.
The second batch ingredients include local honey from an Aberdeenshire farm, Madagascan vanilla and a ‘secret’ blend of spices and botanicals, that give Ron Cabezon its unique uncompromising flavour.
The two separate batches are finally brought back together (the macerations and the botanicals), to produce a blend that is well rounded and moreish.
What do we think after we tried it: Strong sultana aroma on the nose with notes of honey and vanilla on the palate and a nutty finish.
