Guatemala is a small country in Central America, bordered by Mexico and Honduras to the north and west, and by Belize and El Salvador to the east. Centrally located on the Isthmus of Central America, Guatemala is one of several countries with coastlines on both sides – the Pacific Ocean to the south and the Caribbean Sea to the northeast. This Malteco Rum is aged for at least 15 years in oak barrels. With its dark amber color, Malteco Rum 15YO is pleasantly smooth on the palate with intense aromas of caramel, chocolate, and vanilla.

The Caribbean sun inspired the golden color of Malteco Viejo Dorado Rum, and its naturally warm aromas are like the land from which it originates. It delights the nose and palate with wonderful notes of vanilla, spices, and floral hints. Ideally suited for the perfect Cuba Libre.
