Rhum Dolomites Fine Old

The paradise distillate from the Caribbean in the Dolomites? Sure! This is thanks to the experimentation spirit of creative dis-

tillation masters at Plunhof, who have created something totally innovative for South Tyrol. The first rum distilled and bottled in

Italy is something truly special. The molasses come from winding paths on the Sciliar: the thickened sugar cane juice is shipped

in enormous containers from Central America firs to Hamburg and from there to Amsterdam – where the first small quantities

are produced. The rum by Plunhof is hugely popular; this is due not only to its unusual place of origin, but rather most of all to its

outstanding quality. This very dry spirit is produced without sugar addition and stored in oak barrels, which used to contain the

Spanish sweet wine specialty Pedro Ximénez. Its numerous international awards confirm the competitiveness of this product –

not just within a regional niche.

Significant is also the animal chosen for the label on this rum: it’s the widely-travelled hoopoe, with its spectacular feathering

which makes it look almost like an exotic bird and whose journey is similar in length to that of the molasses. This characteristic

rum is produced without addition of sugar or aromas; it brings to the nose aromas of leather, tobacco, dried fruit and

sultanas. Fine herb and mild palate.
