Oronoco

Fazenda Soledade, the home of Oronoco, is located on the lush mountain slopes of Novo Friburgo in the highlands of Rio de Janeiro state. Known typically for it’s cachacas, Brazil played a key role in creating rum as we know it today, with its native crop, sugar cane—one of the most valuable commodities of the 17 th century. In the early 1600’s, the Dutch occupied the Northeast of Brazil to control sugar cane production until being forced out by the Portuguese in 1654. The Dutch then brought the sugar cane plant and their acquired expertise in sugar cane distillation to the Caribbean , giving birth to the modern rum industry. The Bastos Ribeiro’s brothers have brought this story full circle with Oronoco Rum.

Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Bottled

The latest blend of rums from the only distiller in the Virgin Islands. Aged rums are blended and then aged again in a new barrel until this premium blend reaches the peak of balanced flavor. This is a relatively light bodied rum compared to some of the other mature blends.
