Ron Viejo Caldas Rum 3 Years is a distinguished expression from Colombia, renowned for its smoothness and complexity. This rum undergoes a meticulous aging process in oak barrels for three years, allowing it to develop a rich character that balances sweetness with subtle spice. The nose presents an inviting bouquet of caramel, vanilla, and hints of tropical fruits, which are complemented by the gentle warmth of oak. On the palate, it reveals layers of flavor; the initial sweetness transitions into notes of dried fruit and light molasses, culminating in a pleasantly smooth finish that lingers with just a touch of spice.
Crafted using traditional methods that honor Colombian heritage, Ron Viejo Caldas showcases the quality of its base ingredients—primarily sugarcane sourced from local farms. The rum’s clarity and golden hue reflect its careful production process. Ideal for sipping neat or as an integral component in cocktails, this spirit embodies versatility while maintaining an authentic profile that appeals to both novice drinkers and seasoned connoisseurs alike. Its well-rounded nature makes it not only enjoyable on its own but also an excellent choice for enhancing mixed drinks with depth and character.

Rum is a distilled spirit made primarily from sugarcane juice or molasses, offering a diverse range of flavors and styles. It can be produced using either pot still or column still distillation methods, resulting in various textures that range from smooth to rich, and light-bodied to full-bodied depending on the style and aging process.
This versatile spirit can be unaged, known as white rum, or aged in barrels to develop deeper flavors found in gold and dark rums. The aroma profile typically includes sweet and fruity notes with hints of caramel, vanilla, and spice; tropical fruits and coconut may also emerge based on the aging conditions. Rum is commonly used in cocktails such as Mojitos, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, Rum Punches, and Mai Tais, making it a staple in both casual gatherings and sophisticated mixology.
