Gentle fermentation of molasses and un-refined sugar captures deep and rich fruitiness. Distillation is caried out in relatively small copper-pot stills for ultimate control, the rum is then rested in very small oak barrels previously used to age bourbon for 6-12 months. One element that separates this rum from many is the fact that no colourings are used to darken the spirit and no sugars are added after fermentation. The resulting rum gives a very complex and balanced profile. ?This rum is exceptionally smooth with layered complexity. A sweet butterscotch nose is complemented by flavours of warm vanilla, mellow oak and hints of banana with an endearing, light chocolate finish.?
