About this bottle

El Ron Prohibido ('The Forbidden Rum') is a distinctive rum originating from Mexico. Historically, this rum was transported to Spain in used wine barrels during the 17th century, developing a characteristic sweet and bitter flavor profile during the journey. Its popularity led Spanish spirit producers to petition the king for a ban. Currently, El Ron Prohibido is aged using a 12-year solera system and finished in barrels that previously held raisin wine.

Chantel Sarmiento 4.3

Gentle spirit, repetitive, with sweet and woody notes. Very pleasing.

Charmaine Arevalo 3.3

The bottle's appearance is great, and the accompanying story is engaging, but beyond that, there's little else.
