Rum of the day 3
Amber Rum
Canadian Rum with Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish
Amber Rum - Sherry Cask Finish. Glacier-fed water from the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies, once used bourbon barrels, oloroso sherry casks, and Canadian made copper pot stills are used to create this unique international award-winning rum. The Amber Rum is matured in freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Woodford Reserve until the desired maturation is achieved and finished in Oloroso Sherry casks imported directly from Jerez, Spain.

The Untold History of Alberta Rum Running
Alberta has a history of bold entrepreneurs who were willing to take risks to achieve their goals. One of the most notorious of these was Emilio Picariello, infamously known as ‘Emperor Pic’. When Prohibition began, he saw an opportunity and quickly built a significant rum running operation. Operating from his headquarters in the Blairmore Hotel in the Crowsnest Pass, Emperor Pic ran rum through the tight mountain passes of Alberta, British Columbia and the US Pacific Northwest. Romero Distilling is building on the rich and mostly untold history of rum running in the west. Emporer Pic – Although the law considered him a criminal, Emilio had another side. He often made generous charitable contributions to the community, funded a miners’ strike, and gave Christmas presents to poor families with some of the profits from his illegal bootlegging operation. Continuing The Tradition – Although Romero Distilling Co. stays on the right side of the law, we do continue one of Emilio’s traditions of giving back to our local community through staff volunteer efforts and ongoing contributions to local charities. Our rums are exceptional and truly Canadian.
Tasting Notes:
Opens with notes of vanilla, butterscotch and caramel and has a long sherry finish with hints of almond and dried fruit.
L’on sens bien la cerise en fin de bouche
To me a bit neutral. But I like it’s not too sweet.
Not very special
Fine smell, fresh taste, good for drinks
Quite good
vanille, de caramel et de caramel et présente une longue finale de sherry avec des notes d’amande et de fruits secs…. exactement comme le commentaire….et c’est vraiment très bon!
Not good taste for me
Denna va riktigt god
Lovely sweetness to it
Ingen duft
Ingen smag
Long Nice finish.
A really nice sweet and inviting nose,
The taste is about peppery and stingy, but not to much. A really nice surprise.
Too close to whisky, too straight, not enough balanced and burning like fire.
Not mine. Not technically bad though.
Très aromatique caramel au nez dès l’ouverture.
Puissant en alcool
Sadly not much of anything really.
Not in my taste.
Was ok but did not have the same flavour as the better rums.
