LA FORZA & LOVERS LA FORZA RUM XVII

La Forza Rum stands as a bold testament to the art of blending, offering a rich, woodsy profile that commands attention. Crafted in the British style and aged an average of 5 years, with some rums reaching up to 8 years, it hails from Barbados, Jamaica, Guatemala, Guyana, and Venezuela. This blend is bottled at 47% ABV, showcasing its natural color and robust flavors without the use of charcoal filtering, additives, or sugars.

La Forza's strength lies not just in its hearty neat sipping experience but also in its versatility in classic cocktails. Whether leading the charge in a Rum Old Fashioned, Painkiller, Jungle Bird, or elevating a Piña Colada to new heights, it delivers unmatched depth and complexity.
