Rum and Whisky, mmm...
Oliver Juanillo founded a sugarcane and tobacco plantation in Cuba in the 19th century. Quickly thereafter followed a distillery, which operated successfully until 1959, when Cuba was in the midst of the revolution. The founders fled with their know-how into exile to the Dominican Republic. There they found the conditions to produce high quality Rum to be even better. Puntacana Rum is one of their ranges, which is named after the Punta Cana Beach Resort in the Dominical Republic, the self-proclaimed Heaven on Earth.
Puntacana Tesoro 15YO Malt Whisky Finish is 15 year old Rum that was finished matured in ex-Scotch casks from the Tomatin distillery. This imparted some neat peat on the Rum, making it really de-li-cious.
