House of Rum 21 Year Old 2004 Nicaraguan Rum - 58.8% 70cl

THE DEVIL TAKES HIS, THE REST WE SHARE.

The high heat increases the amount of liquid that evaporates during maturation. Known as the Angel’s share across Europe, it is called the Devil’s share in the Tropics, probably because such strong evaporation, about 8 or 9% per year, is very expensive for producers. That is why you can find El Diablo on each of our bottles.

Rums from Nicaragua are famed for their elegance. Smooth. Layered. Refined and Cask No. 253, Rotation Z04/3944, is a 21-year-old expression that shows this at its best.

Soft tropical fruit, candied sweetness and floral hints of violet with the silky palate of ripe banana and sweet oak lingers long after your last sip.

Distilled in 2004 at the family-owned Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua. The rum matured for nine years in the tropical heat, sealed in American Oak ex-Bourbon with traditional plantain leaves.

Transferred to the UK in 2013, it rested for another twelve years in a cooler climate before being bottled by House of Rum in 2025.

Uncompromising at 58.8% ABV and with no sugar or additives.

Just 220 bottles were produced — capturing both the elegance of Nicaragua and the rarity that defines House of Rum.

Nose: Lovely soft fruit, candy and violets on the nose with hints on liquorice and toffee.

Palate: A wonderful viscosity, quite oily with notes of milk chocolate, banana, caramel and oak.

Finish: A long finish filled with papaya, apricots, banana raisins and vanilla.
