Unlike many light rums, barrel aging gives the Platino a unique smoothness and complex flavours. Platino is aged for one year (and often longer) in American White Oak barrels that previously held Laws Colorado Whiskey and Montanya Oro. At bottling time, the tiniest touch of Colorado honey brings out the rum’s natural flavours, while a coconut husk carbon filter removes colour. Free of the cloying sweetness of added sugar and flavourings, the flavours prominent in the Platino include biscotti, cream soda, cardamom, coffee, vanilla and pepper.
