Ron Cartavio Solera 12 Years, hails like Paddington Bear from Peru. Whether it is deepest darkest Peru I am not quite sure but its definitely Peru. Alongside Ron Cartavio sits Ron Millonario as Peru’s other notable rum.
Both rums are exported outside of Latin America and both Cartavio and Millonario are regularly available here in the UK. I make no apologies for the title of this review – that is how the rum is labelled by the producers. That is how I arrive at my titles, in an attempt to make things as clear as possible. From a personal viewpoint I don’t think Solera 12 Years is clear in terms of the true age of this product. Being honest its a crock of shit.
