I am from: El Salvador and Jamaica (Blended by Ron Colón Salvadoreño)

The Story: Born from a passionate obsession to showcase the rich, volcanic terroir of El Salvador, this unapologetic, high-proof spirit—often called the "Red Label"—is a benchmark producer of craft coffee infusions. The founders were captivated by El Salvador's world-class agriculture, specifically sourcing premium Bourbon coffee beans from Jags Head Coffee Farms, grown at 1,700 meters on the lush slopes of the famous Santa Ana volcano. Disregarding artificial flavor syrups and added sugars, they created an uncompromised base blend: 70% six-year-old column-distilled Salvadoran rum for elegant structure, expertly married with 30% funky, pot-stilled Jamaican rums (both aged and unaged) from legendary estates like Worthy Park, Hampden, and Monymusk. The medium-roasted coffee beans are cold-macerated directly in the high-proof rum for exactly 48 hours to extract maximum flavor without harsh tannins. Bottled at a roaring 111 proof (55.5% ABV) and deliberately non-chill filtered to retain every drop of natural coffee oil, it captures a masterful harmony of vibrant Latin American coffee culture and bold Caribbean rum blending.

Why You'll Love Me: It balances a remarkably bright, robust roasted coffee backbone with an incredibly seductive, rich and funky Jamaican fruit edge. Standing out as a completely unsweetened, natural infusion that commands attention with its heavyweight proof, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of freshly pulled espresso, raw cacao nibs, overripe banana, and a hint of warm vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a beautiful, uncommonly oily and viscous full body that is instantly cut by a laser-beam core of dark plum, toasted almond, and a deep, earthy pot-still funk. It gracefully sweeps into an extremely long, complex finish defined by a mouthwatering clean minerality, a touch of dark chocolate bitterness, and a signature hint of intense, lingering spirit warmth.
