Tasting Notes: The nose opens with cherries, brown sugar, candied pecans, and prunes. The palate transitions to deep elements of roasted orange peel, burnt sugar, and toasted coconut, with a complex overlay of vanilla and marshmallow sweetness. The full finale adds a lingering cocoa, nutmeg, and sweet spicy fruit framework.
About: Richland Rum is the only single-estate rum in the U.S. Richland grows their own sugarcane. They process it into cane syrup in-house. The cane syrup is then fermented and distilled all in downtown Richland, GA. It is a wonderful Agricole style rum and probably one of my favorite craft spirits.
This is the second barrel pick I've done from Richland. I approached this pick exactly as I did the first pick. I went in with an open mind. I didn't target a specific flavor profile. I knew I wanted something that you all would enjoy neat. And, I knew it had to appeal to a whiskey drinkers palate. I believe this barrel nailed it. It's a cask strength, unaltered, unfiltered rum that is full of flavor.
