Regular price
$65.00
Sale
Recipe: 100% Grade A Molasses
Distillation: 1st on and American Pot Still and 2nd on a German Column Still
Aged In: New American White Oak
Aged: 4 years and 11 months
Proof: 100
Tasting Notes: Rich toasted sugar and orange peel. There is a great cinnamon syrup note even though it's not overly sweet. The palate is sugar cookie and pepper. Rounded sweetness with toasted deep vanilla custard. The finish is medium with a nice bit of pop from the proof.
Selection Process: I went into this barrel pick blind. In the back of my head, I knew I wanted an older cask and preferably from new oak. But, ultimately I just wanted the best barrel offered. The only way to do that is to test blind.
About the Distiller's Drawer Series
When our founder, Andrew Cabot, traveled through the Caribbean to ponder rum’s future, he met a distiller that had a secret bottle tucked away in their desk drawer. It was the distiller's proudest achievement, a special treasure pulled straight from the cask that was unsweetened, unfiltered, and unadulterated. Andrew tasted this exquisite rum and asked himself: Why would someone blend, filter, and sweeten away this unique treasure? Why can't anyone outside a distillery taste rum like this?
Our Distiller’s Drawer is the answer to these questions.
These are our distiller’s favorite barrels - so good that Maggie would keep a bottle hidden in her desk drawer too, but thought it better to share with you.
We gently care for the rum with respect and allow it to speak for itself.
Many of these bottlings come from our experimental distillations, incorporating new techniques or ingredients.
Single Barrel Selection: Each bottling is an intimate expression of one single cask with purity of character.
Unsweetened: No post-distillation sweeteners are added, creating a dry rum.
No Additives: Our rum is a product of spirit, water, oak, & time. No artificial oak flavor, age flavor, or dyes are used.
Authentic: Fermented, distilled, aged & bottled at Privateer in Massachusetts
