Why buy Rum Cacique 500

Let's continue with the plot of the film: a man loses his entire group of companions and has to survive almost a decade on his own in the depths of the jungle until he is rescued and returns to his previous life appreciating each of its details and with extraordinary maturity.

Hacienda Saruño, located in the town of La Miel in the middle of the Venezuelan jungle, is the place where this exquisite broth of gods is created by the most expert hands. All the details are carried out with great care. First, the choice of the best pure spring water and the best quality sugar, ingredients of Cacique 500. After selection, a slow and very controlled fermentation, after which the rum is distilled in copper stills and then rested in oak barrels for a minimum of eight years until its flavor is optimal. Within this aging in barrels, each year evaporates 9% of the content of each barrel due to the conditions of temperature and humidity in the area, which is colloquially known as the Tribute of the Angels. A toll to pay for a taste of gods.

This rum is produced exclusively at Hacienda Saruño, in Lara State, Venezuela, where the purest spring water and fertile cane plantations ensure the availability of the best ingredients. Cacique 500 is artisanal rum made of molasses, distilled in old copper stills and aged up to 8 years in carefully selected oak barrels. After the aging the master distiller tastes the final result of each barrel reserving only the best forCacique 500.

Cacique 500 Ron Extra Añejo was launched in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the New World. A terrific reserve rum from Cacique, one of Spain's most popular brands. Cacique is made in Venezuela by Destilerias Unidas, also the home of Pampero and Diplomatico rums. 

Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

A special reserve well deserves a bottle according to its status, and that is the case of Cacique 500 with a matte brown container with the image of the Indian Cacique vigilant at all times. Once the jar of essences is uncovered, a liquid of an intense amber color escapes from it with balanced aromas of ripe fruit, nuts, wood or vanilla. Finally, in mouth these touches are accentuated, causing a rich, full-bodied and balanced step.

How to taste it. Marriage

As for the best way to taste it, from Yo pongo el hielo we recommend doing it in a glass of balloon, accompanied by an abundant amount of ice, an orange twist, a branch of cinnamon and a cola soft drink. However, Cacique 500 also deserves to appreciate its nuances only with a couple of pieces of ice. With regard to its pairing, a good option is to taste it together with a good roast meat. Are you in the mood?

Unique weather conditions

It was 1959 when in the Venezuelan jungle the seed of a unique rum germinated: Cacique. The union of four distilleries of the American country, known as Licorerías Unidas, would be the definitive step to give life to a brand that since then has spread its good name all over the world thanks, in part, to its raw material and perfect temperature and humidity conditions so that the rum matures in the best way.
