Hello everyone! At Hacienda Coloma, as you know, coffee is our great passion and what drives us every day. But today, we want to introduce you to another of our treasures, one that also comes from this land and carries much of who we are: our Ron Coloma. Sugarcane also has great stories to tell here, and we’ve learned to work it diligently to offer you a rum with character and full of tradition.
A Legacy of Flavor: The Story Behind Ron Coloma
Each bottle of Ron Coloma is the result of a dream that has matured at our hacienda. We wanted to create a rum that truly represented the essence of Colombia, and it’s our tribute to work done patiently, artisanally, and with a deep respect for the processes that transform sugarcane into this special distillate. This isn’t just a premium Colombian rum; it’s a part of our history that brings us great joy to share with you.
The Secret is in the Process: Aging and Tasting Notes of Ron Coloma
What makes our Ron Coloma special? As with many good things, the secret lies in paying attention to every detail. From the careful selection of sugarcane molasses to the important process of aging in American oak barrels, each step is key. And here’s a touch that distinguishes us at Hacienda Coloma: a final finish in barrels that have previously held our cherished coffee liqueur. This gives it a very particular subtlety.
When you taste Ron Coloma, you’ll notice:
- Color: A deep, bright amber, reflecting its time in the barrel.
- Aroma: You’ll perceive warm notes of vanilla, wood, perhaps some caramel, and that soft, attractive touch reminiscent of coffee.
- Taste: It’s smooth on the palate, balanced, and with a depth that invites you to enjoy it slowly. It leaves a pleasant and lasting aftertaste.
Of course, the best way to appreciate it is by tasting it. That’s why the Ron Coloma tasting is one of the experiences we greatly enjoy offering here at the hacienda.
More Than Just a Rum: Ideas to Enjoy Your Ron Coloma
A rum of the quality of Ron Coloma is greatly enjoyed neat or on the rocks, to fully appreciate all its nuances. But it’s also an excellent base for cocktails. A Cuba Libre made with Ron Coloma, for example, reaches a higher level. Or you can try it in other preparations where its unique notes can shine. (Later, in another article, we’ll share some ideas and cocktail recipes with Ron Coloma).
For now, think of it as the ideal companion for a good conversation, to celebrate an important moment, or simply to treat yourself at the end of the day. It’s the taste of Cundinamarca’s liquor tradition, bottled for you to enjoy.
Ron Coloma: A Toast to What’s Ours
For us, making Ron Coloma is a way to honor the richness of our land and the work of our people. It’s like bringing you a little piece of Hacienda Coloma in every glass, inviting you to be part of our family and what we’re passionate about. When you choose our rum, you’re choosing quality, history, and the authentic taste of Colombia.
So, the next time you’re looking for a spirit that speaks of its origin, that has a story behind it, and that offers a complete taste experience, we hope you’ll consider Ron Coloma.
Thank you for joining us to learn a bit more about it. We look forward to seeing you at Hacienda Coloma!
