porfidio single cane

[Bill Poster]

This rum caught my eye. It was launched 2 yrs ago.

With a bottle design not unlike a premium vodka(but with a palm tree), this one also boasts of being produced using the first pressing of the cane(with no water added during crushing).

Interestingly, it is aged for 5 yrs in 100 litre ceramic flagons.

When this rum was launched I got a lot of press hype, but no follow up. Is this rum still available in the UK, and is it selling?

The picture of the hydraulic press on their website wasn't big enough to press enough sugar cane to yield enough juice to make enough rum to fill enough bottles to export.

You have to remember its a very exclusive product, they hand massage each cane after it's cut

That explains it. I knew something was getting massaged, I just wasn't sure what.
