SHAKARA was produced from molasses derived from locally-grown sugarcane and distilled in column still. This 12-year-old rum owes
its remarkable opulence and maturity of expression to the entirely tropical ageing it undergoes in the province of Nakhon Pathom.
This fertile region of central Thailand experiences average annual temperatures in excess of 27°C, and humidity between 60% and 80% – conditions which induce a more important angel’s share and thus greatly enhances the concentration or flavours.
Luminous and voluptuous, SHAKARA 12 years old is bottled at 45,7%, with no sugar or colouring added. It’s a generous, round
rum that will delight both novices and
connoisseurs.
Nose .. Refined and heady. Nutty aromas (almond, walnut) appear alongside elegant fragrances honey and toffee. Allowed
to breathe, lovely apricot notes highlight its exuberant character.
Palate .. Clean and lively. The dynamic attack wavers between flavours of cane sugar, exotic fruit (mango, papaya) and
fresh fig. Salted butter caramel then highlights the perfectly integrated wood.
Finish .. Long and silky. The spicy finish quickly develops vanilla notes. In the after-taste, notes of liquorice gently
coats the taste buds. The end of the finish is floral (jasmine, hyacinth) and resinous.
