Gold Medal - 2010 Gold Medal - 2009
Our Montanya PLATINO is a light, crisp rum aged to maturity in American Oak, coconut-husk charcoal filtered, and blended with San Juan mountain spring water. “Notes of honey, coffee, vanilla and oak are evident in the body and finish.” – Ed Hamilton, Minister of Rum “Richly flavored, with floral, almond, honey and caramel hints.” – Boulder Wine Merchant "Aromas of coconut crème brulee and anise cookie follow through on a soft entry to a dryish medium body with slightly acidic peppery notes and a roasted nut finish. Interesting." BTI 2009 “The nose on the rum has a soft sweet vanilla scent that gives it a nice introduction to your senses. This vanilla taste washes over the back of your tongue and creates a nice smooth finish.” – CookManFood.com "I can tell you that this rum is exceptional, it is smooth, you can drink it neat, over ice, in a coke, whatever. It's good in everything." -Colin Sayer, Examiner.comThe PLATINO is a white spirit distilled from high molasses content pure sugar cane, fermented with champagne yeast. Aging takes place in once-used Stranahan's Whiskey Barrels which have also aged Montanya Oro one time. The barrel color is then removed using a coconut-husk charcoal plate filtering process which leaves the spirit clear and perfect for mixing in lighter cocktails like the Mojito.

Our Montanya ORO is a dark, full bodied, sipping rum aged to maturity in American Oak and blended with San Juan mountain spring water. “Hints of toffee in the aroma lead to a body of espresso, toffee, vanilla and honey until roasted coffee beans dominate the slightly smoky finish.” – Ed Hamilton, Minister of Rum “The scent of honey is noticeable and the taste of molasses, honey, and a hint of vanilla is there.” – CookManFood.com "Fruity caramel and poached pear tart aromas follow through on a supple, buoyant entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with mocha, brown spices, and cola notes. Finishes a lively coffee, toffee and pepper fade. An engaging, spicy gold rum for mixing flavorful cocktails." Beverage Testing Institute - 2009 “The barrels give it a dark smoky flavor, and it has a chocolatey feel to it as well.” – Colin Sayer, Pirate Examiner at Examiner.com.
