Hoy Como Ayer 1956: the great return of a revolutionary rum

Hoy Como Ayer 1956 is a real treasure that takes us back to a time of upheaval, when Caribbean rum was already a myth.

It is a rum distilled in 1956, thus aged for 68 years in a tropical climate. To make this bottling, it was necessary to combine rums from over fifty barrels of the same age, as the Caribbean Angel's Share is around 8% per year.

The result is a very aromatic rum that takes us on a seventy-year journey, in which the slow tropical maturation gives great maturity to the distillate.

The nose is rich and deep, with tones of crème brûlée, toasted hazelnut, orange marmalade, dried apricot, mango, sultanas, wax, leather and incense paper. The palate is energetic, with notes of burnt cane sugar, cocoa, ginger, tonka beans and fig jam, and a lingering, delicately tannic finish.

Only a very few, precious bottles are available.
