El Salvador Meets Jamaica at 111 Proof
Ron Colón Salvadoreño launched in January 2020 with a simple idea: take aged column-still rum from Licorera Cihuatán in El Salvador — refined, oak-matured, six years old — and marry it with the heavy pot-still rums of Jamaica, both unaged and three-year-old expressions from Worthy Park, Hampden and Monymusk. Bottled at 111 proof with no sugar and no additives, it's a high-proof rum built for people who want the full texture. Note: two AI-generated retailer pages list this at 51.5% ABV — every credible source (The Spirits Business, Master of Malt, Difford's) agrees on 55.5%/111 proof.

Tasting Notes
Nose of grilled pineapple, green banana, marzipan and pink pepper. The palate is grilled pineapple, baking spice, tobacco leaf, black pepper and dark-roast coffee — long spiced finish with dark chocolate and lingering coffee.
How to Enjoy
At 111 proof, a splash of water or a large cube opens it beautifully for sipping. It's also a heavyweight cocktail rum — try it in a high-proof daiquiri or a dark rum Old Fashioned.
