Barrel aging in new, charred, American Oak barrels is what gives our Gold Rum its color and characteristic flavor.  It is often compared to a fine bourbon.  Aged at least 5 years allows the spirit to extract as much flavor and color into this rum.

As the rum interacts with the wood tannins, lignin, and vanillin is infused which creates flavors like caramel, spice, and vanilla. Oxidation takes place through the porous nature of the wood which softens the harsh edge and produces smoother flavors. The caramelization that takes place during the toasting and charring process produces the amber color that is extracted from the wood by the rum.

Our Cask Strength Gold Rum is 120 proof. Overproof rums are stronger because of the higher proof, but they are also more flavorful because of the less dilution after decanting the barrel.  Each bottling of our Gold, Cask Strength Gold, and Dark Rums are a single barrel bottling.  This makes each batch unique to that barrels influence.  If you like a batch, pick up a couple bottles while you can!

This Rum makes an incredible Old Fashioned Cocktail!
