Product of: Spain

See more Blended gold rums (1-3 years old pot & column)

Gran Reserva, like other Ron Montero rums is made up from two types of alcohol produced by distilling the molasses, aguardiente de caña and sugar cane distillate. The Gran Reserva is then aged for a minimum of five years in a Soleras and Criaderas system.

It’s blended to 40% with water that’s been filtered through reverse osmosis and drops of caramel are also added to homogenise the colour.
