Nicaragua 1998 21 Years Single Cask No. 23 Silver Seal Wildlife CLDN Column Still Rum 49.8% Vol. - one of only 243 bottles of a magnificent Nicaragua Single Cask Rum from Silver Seal!
A rare vintage 1998 21-year-old Nicaragua CLDN single cask rum from the Italian bottler Silver Seal and Ernesto Mainardi from the Silver Seal wildlife single cask rum series that is well known among connoisseurs. This fine and exclusive Nicaragua premium single cask rum was distilled in 1998 and was allowed to mature for 21 years in a tropical climate in an oak cask with the cask no. 23 before being bottled in the year 2020 without the addition of sugar and colouring in a limited edition of 243 individually numbered bottles at cask strength 49.8% vol. in Scotland and was only available in a few European countries.
This fine Nicaraguan single cask rum comes from the Compania Licorera de Nicaragua (CLDN) distillery, which was founded in 1937 to produce the Flor de Cana rum brand, which was first bottled in the late 19th century. The distillery was extensively modernised in 1996 and is now one of the most modern rum production facilities in the world. It has a three-column continuous still and the rum is aged for at least four years in American oak casks. CLDN s ability to continue distilling during the turbulent periods of Nicaraguan history in the 1980s and 1990s means that the company has one of the largest stocks of aged rum in the world.
The Silver Seal Whisky Company from Parma, Italy, is one of Italy s oldest independent bottlers of fine whiskies and premium rums, which places particular emphasis on quality, quantity and authenticity in its selection. The company is the successor to the bottling company Sestante Import Srl, which was founded in 1979 and ceased trading in 1990. Originally, Silver Seal only traded in various types of whisky from Scotland, but later decided to expand its operations and enter the independent rum trade and has also made a name for itself over the years with outstanding bottlings of Demerara rums. Over time, bottlings of rums from other countries such as Trinidad (mainly Caroni), Jamaica, Barbados, Haiti, Panama, Nicaragua etc. were added. Since 1999, Silver Seal has been bottling rums with the silver seal and always with very colourful bottle labels, in particular the unique Wildlife Collection with particularly exotic motifs from the Caribbean. This is also emphasised by the colourful and expressive labels, which feature all kinds of flora and fauna from the Caribbean. This has been delighting fans all over the world for many years, as it stands for the highest quality and most characterful rum varieties from all over the world and offers a high collector s value.
The company does not have its own warehouse capacity, but buys the casks directly from the distilleries and has them bottled in Scotland. The exquisite bottlings are distributed by Massimo Righi, the managing director of Whisky Antique in Italy.
Matured in a tropical climate, this exquisite 21 years Nicaragua column still single cask rum from the Silver Seal Wildlife collection has exciting flavours of exotic fruits, vanilla, mild leather, honey and fine spices on the palate.
An exclusive expression from the Compania Licorera de Nicaragua distillery in Nicaragua and a wonderful tropical aging rum for connoisseurs, discerning rum-collectors and lovers of fine old rum that is rarely found!
