A special feature of this rum is that it was created using the Solera system. What is the Solera system? This involves stacking barrels of different ages on top of each other, with the oldest rum sitting at the bottom. Bottles are filled from these lower barrels, and then the barrel is replenished with rum from the row above, etc. The result is a blend of quite a few different ages that results in a flavourful, complex final product that is still consistent in quality, style and recognisability. Because the oldest barrels at the bottom are always diluted with younger rum, the final product in a properly functioning Solera system, after decades of production, basically still contains traces of the very first, oldest rum the process once started with.

Tres Hombres Isla Bonita 1997 50cl is bottled by Tres Hombres.

This rum is a single cask bottling. What is a single cask? A single cask (single barrel) means that the rum in the bottle comes from just one cask and was not mixed with another rum from e.g. another barrel. Because the contents come from a single barrel, the number of bottles depends on the size of the barrel and the evaporation of the product (called the Angel's Share), the number of bottles is limited (and often numbered) and no new bottles of this particular reference are released on the market. That also makes this Tres Hombres Isla Bonita 1997 50cl single cask a rather unique specimen.

The rum was bottled at cask strength. What does cask strength mean? A cask strength rum is not diluted with water before bottling, but goes straight from the cask into the bottle, thus retaining the alcohol content during/after cask maturation. One of the advantages of this cask strength Tres Hombres Isla Bonita 1997 50cl is that, when drinking it, you can decide how strong you like your rum by diluting it, or not, yourself with a little water according to your preference, instead of the producer having already done this for you. However, the higher alcohol content can sometimes suppress the subtlety of the rum.
