Don Reyes Dominican Premium Aged White Rum has been aged for 2 years by the solera method and filtered twice, once through carbon filter and secondly by a sheet filtration.

This rum is produced under strict temperature control and barred-aged in French oak where it develops its distinctive flavor. The combination of our modern facilities, our expert rum artisan and the unique flavor of the Dominican sugarcane has resulted in a rum of the highest quality.
