Ron Colon Salvadoreno Rumzcal
Ron Colon Salvadoreno Rumzcal is a category-bridging blend bottled at 49.5% ABV (99 proof) in a 750mL bottle: 66% dark aged rum and 33% Maguey Espadin mezcal. The rum component is itself a blend — six-year-old Salvadoran column-still rum from the Licorera Cihuatan distillery, unaged Jamaican pot-still rum from Worthy Park, Hampden and Monymusk, and three-year-old Worthy Park pot-still rum — joined by espadin mezcal from the Lopez Real family distillery, a fourth-generation business in Oaxaca. Aroma and palate move from the mezcal's earth and smoke into the rum's sweetness and tropical fruit. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Rum and Mezcal, Bridged
Ron Colon built its name blending styles across continents, and Rumzcal pushes that furthest: the dark aged rum base — already one of the brand's most awarded liquids — meets authentic Oaxacan mezcal at a full 99 proof. Earthy "funk" and smoke lead; rum sweetness and tropical fruit follow. It's a split-base cocktail in one bottle. Browse more rum, agave spirits and the Ron Colon collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
