In Buddhism, stupas are an important form of a reliquary and may be buried inside larger structures such as a stupa or chorten. Particularly in China and throughout East and Southeast Asia, these take the form of a pagoda; in Japan, this is known as a tō. In the glass Relicario Superior presents itself as a dark brown with vibrant orange and red flashes. It’s a classic rum colour if you like (almost certainly some caramel colouring is involved). It doesn’t stand out or do anything to exciting. Could be any number of other rums from the Dominican Republic or Panama. It didn’t surprise me in any way. It’s light and easy going. Quite easy to d rink yet you still feel like you are drinking a “proper” rum rather than something like Pyrat or Millonario. There is no shortage of things to do in the area: explore popular government buildings such as Prédio do Ministério Público, Fórum, and Casa da Câmara.

Fermentation –“Made from a rigorous selection of sucrose-rich streams which come from the sugar mill, where sugar cane is produced. The alcoholic stages are obtained through the fermentation of these sugary streams, which contribute in part to the aromatic composition of the final product”Hotel Vila Relicario offers guests an array of room amenities including a minibar, and getting online is possible, as free wifi is available. Hotel Vila Relicario is an excellent choice for travellers visiting Ouro Preto, offering a family-friendly environment alongside many helpful amenities designed to enhance your stay. One of the standout features of Relicario Ron Dominicano is its ageing process. The rum undergoes a natural ageing process in American white oak barrels, which imparts it with depth, smoothness, and a distinctive profile. Over time, the interaction between the rum and the wood of the barrel adds layers of complexity to the spirit, resulting in flavours that are rich, nuanced, and profoundly Dominican. It is much more peppery than oaked. The barrels used to age the rum have contributed to a spicy profile – white pepper and ginger. Vanilla and a slight lemon note are also present.

Many were designed with portability in mind, often being exhibited in public or carried in procession on the saint's feast day or on other holy days. Pilgrimages often centered on the veneration of relics. The faithful often venerate relics by bowing before the reliquary or kissing it; those churches that observe the veneration of relics distinguish between the honor given to the saints and the worship that is due to God alone (see Second Council of Nicea). a b Boehm, Barbara Drake.

New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,(October 2001) Utter goobledegook and I’m left with little else to say on the product. So I may as well get on with the nosing and tasting. The Hydrometer didn’t identify any additives in this rum. Having said that I’m not 100% certain it would ever be classed as “pure” rum. I find it difficult to trust rums from certain destinations – The Dominican being one. It hasn’t been excessively sweetened or doctored but it does seem a little more rounded than I would perhaps expect. It seems to have had its wings clipped a little. That could of course be down to the ABV. Beyond its taste, Relicario is a tribute to the Dominican spirit. Its name, which translates to "reliquary" in English, signifies a container for holy relics. In essence, each bottle of Relicario Ron Dominicano holds a piece of the Dominican soul, capturing its warmth, passion, and age-old traditions.Weitzmann, Kurt, ed., Age of spirituality: late antique and early Christian art, third to seventh century, no. 569–575, 1979, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, ISBN 9780870991790 On the nose Relicario if familiar. Light, slightly perfumed but with a refreshing amount of bourbon spice from the barrel and a nice hit of alcohol. The term is sometimes used loosely for containers for the body parts of non-religious figures; in particular, the kings of France often specified that their hearts and sometimes other organs be buried in a different location from their main burial.

Relicario Ron Dominicano is a celebration of Dominican heritage, encapsulating the rich flavours and vibrant culture of the Dominican Republic in every bottle.

Reliquary Shrine, French, c. 1325–50, The Cloisters, New York Inside the shrine of St. Boniface of Dokkum in the hermit-church of Warfhuizen in the Netherlands. The little folded paper on the left contains a bone fragment of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the folded paper on the right a piece of the habit of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The large bone in the middle (about 5 cm in length) is the actual relic of St. Boniface.Two famous very early excavated reliquaries are the 1st-century Bimaran Casket and the Kanishka Casket of 127 AD, both believed to have contained part of the cremated remains of Gautama Buddha. Relics associated with Buddha are the most important in Buddhism, but those related to other enlightened figures like Sariputta and Moggallana are also highly revered. Take Relicario Ron Dominicano Peated Finish , an aged Dominican rum from Relicario (owned by the Spanish-based Beveland Distillers) that was finished in American oak barrels which previously held peated whisky. It’s simultaneously an interesting drink for seasoned rum lovers and exactly the kind of bottling that will convert whisky drinkers to the joys of rum. It shares a similar production process to the brand’s core expression, Relicario Ron Dominicano , that is until the end of the maturation process. The rums are made from 100% native Dominican sugar cane juice harvested by hand. The sugar cane juice is fermented for 30 hours with yeasts (the distillery reveals this is saccharomyces cerevisiae, which should delight yeast fans), before the spirit is distilled in two different stills. I told you this rum was interesting. It is distilled initially in a continuous column still and then again in a copper pot still, which Relicario says is to create a smoother delivery. So, if this sounds like you’re kind of thing or you’re after something a bit different, then you’ll perhaps you’ll plump for a bottle of Relicario Ron Dominicano Peated Finish. It’s now available from Master of Malt and we’ve included our own tasting note below, but be sure to let us know what you think as well! The earliest reliquaries were essentially boxes, either simply box-shaped or based on an architectural design, taking the form of a model of a church with a pitched roof. These latter are known by the French term chasse, and typical examples from the 12th to 14th century have wooden frameworks with gilt-copper plaques nailed on, decorated in champlevé enamel. Limoges was the largest production centre; NB the English usage differs from that of the French châsse, which denotes large size rather than shape. Hahn, Cynthia (January 1997).

In Buddhism, relics are known as cetiya; one of the most significant is the relic of the tooth of the Buddha in Sri Lanka. In Japan, Buddhist relics are known as shari ( 舎利, śarīra), and are often stored in a shariden ( 舎利殿, relic hall, reliquary). (See also: Japanese Buddhist architecture)Sipped Relicario is very easy going. It does taste a little weak – maybe its just a bit too light overall. It’s fairly sweet but not overly so. It does have quite a bit of astringency to it though. Particularly in the finish. There’s a lot of spice and oak in the finish with a bitterness which develops into a very tobacco heavy finish. A philatory is a transparent reliquary designed to contain and exhibit the bones and relics of saints. This style of reliquary has a viewing portal to view the relic inside. The feretrum was a medieval form of reliquary or shrine containing the sacred effigies and relics of a saint.
