Ron Amazona - Licoristas Reunidos Mallorquines

The Ron Amazona - Licoristas Reunidos Mallorquines shines in the glass with a deep ruby-red hue and copper reflections. Its glow is reminiscent of sun-warmed rocks in Mallorca shortly before sunset. The dense, oily texture slowly clings to the sides of the glass, promising an intense tasting experience with lasting depth.

On the nose, a distinctive, multilayered interplay of aromas unfolds. Dark chocolate emerges first, dense and alluring, accompanied by soft caramel and a pleasant smoky note. Hints of roasted coffee beans, lightly burnt sugar and dark cocoa join in. Subtle notes of vanilla, molasses and roasted nuts round out the bouquet. A touch of dried fruit, especially plum and fig, adds further depth to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, the Ron Amazona - Licoristas Reunidos Mallorquines reveals its full power. At 53% ABV, it makes a powerful impression while remaining harmonious and precise. Velvety sweetness from caramel and toffee meets bitter cocoa aromas and robust spice. A fine trail of smoke settles over the palate like a veil, reminiscent of lightly charred oak. In the background, impressions of orange peel, liquorice and a pinch of sea salt emerge, lending the rum an intriguing freshness.

The body is dense, rich and pronounced without seeming overloaded. Notes of dark chocolate, mocha and spicy wood dance elegantly across the palate. A touch of cinnamon, allspice and black pepper adds delicate accents and creates a pleasant warmth. The alcohol is skilfully integrated into the aromatic profile, allowing the intensity to appear as part of the character rather than a distraction.

The finish is long and impressive. First, the sweetness of caramel and molasses lingers, followed by cocoa, coffee and smoky notes that take over the finale. A touch of roasted almond and candied orange accompanies the finish and immediately invites another sip.

Production of Ron Amazona by Licoristas Reunidos Mallorquines

The base of this rum comes from sugar cane, which is processed into premium molasses or sugar cane juice. This forms the foundation for fermentation. The yeast converts the sugar into alcohol while creating initial delicate aromas such as banana, vanilla and subtle spice notes. This step lays the groundwork for the complex flavour profile that follows.

Fermentation is followed by distillation. Ron Amazona is distilled in traditional stills that emphasise both purity and aromatic depth. Through careful fractionation, only the heart of the distillate proceeds to further processing. This creates a clear, aromatic spirit with a high alcohol content, which later develops its characteristic colour and maturity.

The rum then matures in wooden casks, usually oak. This is where the characteristic notes of vanilla, caramel and soft wood smoke develop. The casks impart their colour, tannins and toasted aromas to the rum. Thanks to Mallorca’s Mediterranean climate, maturation progresses intensively. The result is evident in the dense, reddish shimmer and rich aromatic profile.

A carefully coordinated cask programme creates the distinctive aroma of dark chocolate, caramel and smoke. Heavily toasted or lightly charred casks contribute smoky and roasted notes. Lightly fired casks add caramel and toffee nuances. Over the years, these influences merge with the basic aromas of the molasses to form a harmonious whole.

Before bottling, the final adjustment takes place. Here, the master blender decides on the selection of various cask batches. Younger, powerful lots are combined with older, more rounded casks. This creates a multilayered yet clearly defined character. Bottling at 53% ABV preserves the rum’s intensity and carries its aromas powerfully through to the finish.

Finally, the distillery fills the rum into 0.7-litre bottles. This size is ideal for bars, home bars and gifting. Through meticulous production and precise blending, Ron Amazona acquires its distinctive style, clearly setting it apart from many standard rums.

Serving Recommendations for Ron Amazona by Licoristas Reunidos Mallorquines

Ron Amazona is particularly well suited to drinking neat. At around 18 to 20°C, it reveals its full bouquet. A nosing glass or a slightly rounded tumbler brings out the aromas ideally. A small drop of still water softens the intensity somewhat and opens up the chocolate and coffee notes even further. A large piece of ice also complements the bold aromatics and makes for a slow, pleasurable drinking experience.

This rum is especially suitable for cocktails where intense chocolate and smoky notes are desired. One example is a chocolate rum Old Fashioned. Stir 5 cl of Ron Amazona, 0.5 cl of sugar syrup and two dashes of chocolate bitters over ice until well chilled. Strain into a tumbler over a large ice cube and garnish with an orange twist. This brings dark cocoa together with fresh citrus spice.

A Spanish Rum Coffee is also highly appealing. Prepare a freshly brewed espresso and pour 4 cl of Ron Amazona into a preheated cup. Top up with the espresso and sweeten with brown sugar to taste. A dollop of lightly whipped cream on the surface completes the drink. The smoky notes and high alcohol content harmonise perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee.

A Smoky Rum Highball is ideal for summer evenings. Fill a long-drink glass with ice cubes, add 5 cl of Ron Amazona and top up with premium ginger ale. A splash of fresh lime juice adds liveliness, while a lime slice and a piece of dark chocolate as garnish provide an elegant accent. Here, the rum’s spice meets the piquant heat of ginger.

This rum is also an excellent companion to desserts. Serve it with a warm chocolate cake with a molten centre or with chocolate mousse. The rum’s dark cocoa and caramel notes echo and intensify the dessert’s aromas. A small amount added directly to the dessert, for example in a rum chocolate sauce, lends additional character.

Those who enjoy cigars will find a strong partner in Ron Amazona. Medium-bodied to full-bodied formats with notes of earth, cocoa and nuts are particularly well suited. A slow, mindful tasting allows both partners to shine and creates an impressive moment with Mallorcan flair.
