Buy Millonario

Millonario comes from Peru and is produced using the solera system, where younger and older rums are gradually blended through stacked casks rather than bottled from a single vintage. The range centers on the Solera 15 Reserva Especial, the brand’s best seller, and the Solera XO, with supporting bottlings including the 10 Aniversario Reserva, the higher-proof 10 Aniversario Cincuenta, the Numero 15 Reserva Especial, and the Kuytchi rum spirit drink.

Production leans on sherry and wine casks. The Numero 15, according to one detailed tasting note, is a blend of five-year-old rums aged in Croatian oak that held Tokaj, then bourbon barrels, then oloroso sherry casks, with around 40 grams of sugar per liter added afterward. The Cincuenta rests in Williams and Humbert sherry casks and is bottled at 50%, which several members say carries the sweetness better.

In the glass these rums taste of caramel, vanilla, toffee, nougat, brown sugar, dried fruit and chocolate, with occasional coffee, oak and a little spice. The nose is often sharper than the soft, syrupy palate suggests. Finishes tend to be medium and sweet.

Most people drink Millonario neat as an evening or dessert rum, served at room temperature. Reviewers have paired the 15 with Belgian dark chocolate and suggested it alongside a mild cigar. The sweeter Kuytchi gets used in cocktails, flambeed desserts or over coffee.
