Description
This Tres Hombres Rum Ed. 63 is a “ron agricola” made by the Aldea distillery in La Palma, Canary Islands. It is an old, soft, brown rum that has been aged on the island for 17 years.
Origin and distillation
The distillation was carried out with care by the Aldea distillery on the island of La Palma, which is part of the Canary Islands. The sugar cane at the origin of this rum is produced on Aldea's own fields.
This brown rum was picked up in 2022 by the sailing freighter Tres Hombres after 17 years of maturation. The rum made its journey by sea in Pineau des Charentes and Pedro Ximenez barrels. Then, another 6 months later, the ship arrived back in Amsterdam and this fantastic ship has had plenty of time to get a characteristic “Tres Hombres” finish worthy of it. With the ship constantly moving, the Pineau des Charentes and Pedro Ximenez barrels have intensified the flavor of the rum for an unforgettable finish.
What does “ron agricola” mean?
“Ron agricola”, or “agricultural rum”, is a production method originally from the French Antilles. The rum is obtained from pure sugar cane juice.
Although most rums are made from molasses, a syrup-like byproduct of sugar production, this method often produces a more complex, fruity flavor.

The drawings on the labels of our 2023 editions were made by a Tres Hombres crew member.
Bottling
Last but not least, this rum is made with the help of the Tres Hombres Team at the Distillery Amsterdam bottled.
Each bottle of rum is sealed with a natural cork and finished with colored beeswax. This makes the origin of the rum easy to recognize by the color of the bottle. To achieve this result, the wax is mixed with color pigments. These are milled from natural raw materials in a traditional windmill in Zaandam.
