Ron Colon - Red Banana Oleo Rum
The initial inspiration for this creation came from seeing the red banana trees growing on the Jags Head Coffee Farms in El Salvador. The large leaves give shade to the fragile coffee cherries. The bananas are soft and have a sweet flavour when ripe. Some say they taste like a regular banana but with a hint of raspberry sweetness. Others find it a cross between a plantain and a yellow banana.
Like most good plans it all started in a bar, but thanks to the pandemic, Red Banana Oleo was conceived on a virtual drinking session with the Ron Colón team. Who doesn’t like a good banana daiquiri?
Nose: The nose is full of tropical notes as fresh sugar cane and banana balanced by a hint of earthy funk and rounded with a natural sweetness of molasses
Palate: The Intersection of RCS Rum Blend and banana create a beautiful bouquet up front, roasted cacao followed by both fresh and caramelised banana finishing with a touch of heat and pot still funk
