Warehouse

Our rum aging warehouses are places where nature, time, and the expert hand of our master blender come together to transform young rum into a complex, rich, and high-quality beverage. The warehouse conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and barrel type, deeply influence the final character of the rum.

Selection

  • Storage in Our Warehouses: The barrels, which are essential in the aging process, are organized in rows on pallets and stacked at various levels.

  • Types of Barrels: The most common are American oak barrels previously used for bourbon, which impart notes of vanilla, caramel, and spices to the rum. It can be said that 99% of rum warehouses in the world use ex-bourbon and American oak.

At Hacienda Ocú, we decided years ago to be as innovative as possible and invested in different types of wood for our barrels. We offer a wide selection of American, French, European, and Spanish oak barrels. In addition, we have around 20 and a half chestnut casks.

Characteristics

  • Barrel Capacity: These barrels have capacities ranging from 200, 225, 250, 500, and 600 liters, with 200 liters being the most common.

  • Barrel Finishes: We own a collection of different types of barrels that previously contained wines or sherry. This sets us apart from other companies, adding value to our rums for our private label clients or bulk rum customers.

  • Selection of Finishes: Porto, Madeira, Oloroso, Fino, Mistela, Moscatel de Alejandría, Málaga Virgen, Palo Cortado, PX (Pedro Ximénez), Bourbon, Pajarete, Lacrima Christi, Málaga Quina, Bordeaux Wines, Rioja Wines, Rye.
