La Hechicera Fine Aged Rum

From Colombia’s exuberant Caribbean coast, La Hechicera (“the enchantress”) is a fine aged rum celebrated for purity and poise. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels and crafted in the classic Hispanic style, it’s a solera blend of well-matured rums (approx. 12–21 years) bottled “from barrel to bottle, nothing added.” Silky, complex and impeccably balanced, it’s a standout sipper with natural depth and elegant gifting appeal.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Deep aromas of toffee and orange peel over polished oak. The palate opens rich then dry, with roasted coffee, tobacco leaf and caramelised citrus. Finishes long, crisp and smooth, with lingering cocoa and spice.
