The Product
Ron Millonario X0 Extra Old is the most luxurious rum in the Ron Millonario range; it is a mature rum that blends old vintages aged up to twenty years in oak barrels that previously contained bourbon and Spanish and French wines. This rum is rich and caressing and is perfect if you want to indulge in a special pleasure.
The distillery has chosen a precious decanter with a cork stopper, which shows off its warm, amber and intense colour; a package ideal for your gifts but also for your special occasions. A precious bottle that encloses all the magic of the northern part of Peru.
The Tasting
The aroma is bewitching with pleasant hints of caramelized tropical fruit that intertwines with dried fruit to continue with notes of pastries, moving to cinnamon sents, to close with cigar puffs. This rum is enveloping and captivating on the palate, with a pleasant flavour of figs and dates that leave room for cloves. Its elegant and velvety sweetness with notes of dark chocolate gives it a feminine charm.
Ron Millonario X0 Extra Old should be drunk strictly neat; if you want, add a few ice cubes but be careful not to water it down.
The Distillery
Ron Millionario was officially born in 1950, but its history begins much earlier and more precisely in 1904 when a group of farmers founded the Hacienda Agrícola de Chiclayo, a small refinery to trade their sugar in north Peru.
In 1922, the Peruvian landowner family Piera de Castillo purchased the hacienda, the refinery and the vast sugar cane plantation.
In 1933, Don Rolando, the founder of the Piera de Castillo family, sent his firstborn Augusto, to study chemical engineering at Cambridge University. In the summer of 1938, Augusto returned to Peru from England with a ship full of valuable machinery needed to distil rum.
