Distillation occurs in an open-flame, hand- hammered Alembic copper pot still from Portugal Montanya Rum 100 gallon still

The rum is aged to maturity for 3 to 18 months in a Single Barrel Process Montanya Rum Freshly-decanted whiskey barrels from Stranahans in Denver, CO Oro is aged in barrels that are fresh and wet

Greater temperature fluctuations at altitude force more rum in and out of the barrel's oak pores Montanya Rum This results in a smoother, more flavorful spirit in less aging time

Aged product is filtered and a touch of caramelized honey is added to enhance the natural flavors Montanya Rum Platino rum is filtered using a coconut-husk charcoal plate filtering process which leaves the spirit clear Oro is filtered for clarity but not to remove barrel color.
