Celebrating Ruben's 50th Birthday
Tribe of Ruben
Pour a cheeky dram from the Land of Milk and Honey, where the Tribe of Ruben’s charm dances in this Tel Aviv firewater. Napping for four and a half lively years in red wine barrels, it cheers for Ruben's family name Rodner (originally Rødner), from the Norwegian word for red; rød, sparking the ruby glow of a desert party and the buzz of kin. Bottled to high-five Ruben’s jubilee year: a spirited salute blending a legendary past with the legendary guy who wears the name so well.

Nose
A rush of black cherry and ripe plum, followed by damson jam, dark chocolate and polished oak. With time, sweeter notes emerge vanilla pod, dried fig and a little cinnamon.
The Essence of Heritage
A meticulous exploration of the unique character and artisanal craftsmanship that defines this 50th Birthday Special Edition.

Palate
Full-bodied and generous, with blackberry compote, cherry liqueur and dark plum spreading across the palate. Cocoa, caramel and sweet baking spice follow, while the cask strength adds a muscular peppery warmth. Beneath it all runs a fine thread of wine tannin, giving structure and pleasantly dry counterpoint to the fruit.

Finish
Long and warming, the dark fruit slowly giving way to bitter chocolate, clove and toasted oak. A final flicker of black cherry and drying red wine tannin lingers after the sweetness has faded.
