"We are very excited that our Puerto Angel rum, which was first introduced to the US consumers only in summer of 2015, has already generated such critical acclaim from the industry experts and spirits competition judges," said Marina Wilson, President and Founder of Double Eagle Imports Ltd. "It is such a great honor to receive Gold Medals and 'Exceptional' ratings for both age expressions from such a respected institution. Considering that rum segment of distilled spirits industry is very competitive, to stand out among the numerous entries is a tribute to the hard work of the distillery's artisans who are committed to quality and craftsmanship."
Puerto Angel rum is handcrafted from the freshly pressed and naturally fermented juice of organic sugar cane that is cultivated at the distillery-owned plantation located in Oaxaca Mountains, Mexico. Unique combination of weather patterns, sun exposure, high altitudes and rich volcanic soils of this rugged, remote area results in the terroir-driven, exotic distillate that takes on a very soul of Oaxaca's untamed and breathtakingly beautiful nature.
The spirit is double distilled in small batches in traditional pot stills to ensure unique and complex flavor profile as well as exceptional smoothness.
Puerto Angel Blanco is aged for 6 months in American oak barrels, while Amber matures in wood for 3 years. Puerto Angel is one of the very few rum brands that are honored by USDA Organic certification.
