La Hechicera (etch--ee--seh--rah) a premium Colombian rum, beautifully packaged with a harmonious blend of aged rums. A blend of gracefully matured rums, aged between 12 & 21 years in American white oak casks. It is the brainchild of the Riascos family from Colombia, a family with a wealth of experience in rum sourcing, ageing & blending. La Hechicera is an 'unpolished' rum, which means it retains the genuine qualities of the noble wood it breathes, it has not been rounded up with additives or sugar, its smoothness has been mellowing for decades. The process is true to the traditional way of making rum so that it does not require any polishing or 'nishing' to make it more palatable; any additive would only opaque its innate brilliance. Hechicera is Spanish for Enchantress. Flavour; deep woodiness with characterful notes of things Colombian; a heady scent of toffee & orange peel on the nose followed by a bold burst of flavour on the palate with distinctive notes of tobacco & roasted coffee. Its ending is crisp & smooth. La Hechicera is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. ...

Medium-depth, cherry-red; clean & bright. Very intense to the nose, with a pleasant balsamic bouquet. Almonds, mint chocolate, vanilla & roasted coffee lead to notes of jammy fruit. Good, balanced structure in the mouth, with a pleasant acidity & very sweet, round tannins which provide a long, complex finish. Excellent to enjoy now, although it will continue rounding off its fine bouquet in the bottle over time. This vintage was officially rated as Excellent, which coincides with our assessment. After budbreak at the normal time of the year, moderate, well-distributed spring rains led to proper canopy development, which lasted until fruit set, helping to balance production. September temperatures were moderate during the day & cool at night, allowing the grapes to acquire the typical traits of this part of Rioja. Tempranillo (90%) & Graciano (10%) from vines over 40 years old in vineyards in Brias, Labastida & Villalba. ...
