The Oro goes into the barrel when it is wet and fresh from the whiskey, so it is more full-bodied and picks up more flavor from the oak. The Oro also receives a tiny touch of Colorado Rocky Mountain honey at bottling time, but is never filtered to remove color. The natural color of the barrel remains, along with a slight bit of color from the caramelized honey. Unlike many dark aged rums, the Oro never receives molasses caramel or artificial colorings/flavorings. The flavors in the Oro emerge naturally from the sugar cane and barrel aging process. Flavors prominent in the Oro include red chili, coffee, caramel, vanilla, pineapple, and chocolate.

The Platino is aged for one year in an American White Oak barrel that previously held Colorado Whiskey and then aged our Montanya Oro rum. The Platino is then filtered through a coconut husk charcoal filter to remove color but leave behind most of the natural flavor. Unlike many light rums, the Platino has the smoothness contributed by barrel aging in addition to the complex flavors of an aged rum, while it is free of the cloying sweetness of added sweeteners and flavorings. The Platino does receive a tiny touch of Colorado Rocky Mountain honey at bottling time, which brings out the natural flavors of the barrel and the rum itself. Flavors prominent in the Platino include biscotti, cream soda, cardamom, coffee, vanilla and black pepper
