Venezuela 13y (Cadenhead - Original Collection)

Venezuela 13y is a mélasse rum .

Molasses is fermented and distilled, after which the rum can be aged in barrels. Molasses is a by-product of sugar production and contains many sugars that are converted into alcohol and complex flavourings during fermentation.

No, Venezuela 13y is not a no age statement (NAS) rum. The label explicitly states an age and that age represents the youngest rum found in the bottle (or in the blend).

No, Venezuela 13y is not a single cask rum.

No, Venezuela 13y is not rum at cask strength.

Although this Venezuela 13y is not or does not have explicit gift packaging, it can certainly make an excellent gift. Gift packs are usually taken as a safe choice of gift because brands often combine the most accessible or their most popular rum combine with a fun accessory in a nice gift pack. But if you are looking for a gift for an experienced rum-drinker they may not be waiting for yet another glass and then this one Venezuela 13y might even be a better choice than such a gift pack.

This Venezuela 13y can be a rum one that suits you if you like a rum with a sweet character. In fact, this sweetness is quite emphatic in the flavour profile.

However, we recommend that you also check out the rest of the flavour profile, as it is of course only one part of the overall character of this rum.

No, in the flavour profile of this Venezuela 13y rum there is very little to no significant spiciness at all.

No, Venezuela 13y is a rum that has no fruitiness in its flavour profile.

Yes, Venezuela 13y is a rum with a rather sweet flavour profile: the sweetness of this rum will be detectable right from the first sip from your glass.

While not everyone is a fan of a (very) sweet rum, they are usually among the most accessible. This Venezuela 13y therefore constitutes a reasonably safe starting point to get acquainted for the first time with rum.

Whether you drink this Venezuela 13y rum best with or without ice is a personal choice. We have always chosen not to take a stance on adding water or ice to rum. There are certainly good reasons to add a little water to your rum, but whether it adds value to you or detracts from your enjoyment is something you should mainly discover for yourself.

Rum of more than 52% is rather rare. Often, such a high alcohol content is due to the fact that it is a cask strength rum (a rum cask strength): the rum in that case is not diluted before bottling so it goes into the bottle at a higher alcohol content. Rum with a high alcohol content often benefits from a few drops of water to release the aromas and make the alcohol less predominant in the glass, and in itself is also fine for use in stronger cocktails.

Venezuela 13y is a rum of the Cadenhead's brand bottled by the independent bottler Cadenhead. That makes this bottle an independent bottling.

No, Venezuela 13y is not produced according to the solera system.

The "Dark 'n Stormy" cocktail is a protected trademark of Gosling Brothers Ltd. According to official rules, a cocktail may therefore only be called Dark 'N Stormy (with one apostrophe) if it is made with Gosling's Rum and ginger beer.

Since Gosling only registered the name with single apostrophe, the same cocktail is also described elsewhere as a Dark 'n' Stormy (with double apostrophe) or as a Safe Harbor in an attempt to get out from under the trademark and licensing problems.

If you don't mind the official designation and want to make a cocktail based on the recipe of the official Dark 'n Stormy, this Venezuela 13y is definitely a good choice. To make an official, correct Dark 'n Stormy, however, you need Gosling's Black Seal rum.

According to the data currently available to us, we cannot state with certainty that this product is vegan and this claim is not explicitly made by the brand.
