La Hechicera is a naturally ‘unpolished’ rum, which means it has not been rounded up with additives or sugar, its smoothness and flavour are the result of the noble wood it is aged in. This is the traditional way of making rum that does not require any polishing or ‘finishing’, any additive would only opaque its innate brilliance. La Hechicera's flavour profile is exactly what we expect rum to be; deep woodiness with characterful notes of things Colombian; a heady scent of toffee and orange peel on the nose followed by a bold burst of flavour on the palate with distinctive notes of tobacco and roasted coffee. Is ending is crisp and smooth.

About this rum
La Hechicera - Rum
La Hechicera is a premium rum that is produced in Colombia. It is a blend of rums that have been aged between 12 and 21 years in American white oak barrels. The result is a smooth and complex rum that is perfect for sipping neat or mixing in cocktails.
The taste profile of La Hechicera is rich and full-bodied, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. It has a long and smooth finish that leaves a pleasant warmth in the mouth.
The history of the producer of La Hechicera is steeped in tradition. The company was founded by the Riascos family, who have been producing rum in Colombia for over two centuries. They use traditional methods to produce their rum, including distilling in copper stills and aging in oak barrels.
La Hechicera is best enjoyed in a snifter glass, either neat or with a single ice cube. It pairs well with dark chocolate or a cigar, making it the perfect after-dinner drink. Alternatively, it can be used in cocktails such as a classic rum and coke or a mojito.
