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.

Our Gold Rum is bottled at 80 proof.  This makes the rum smooth, approachable, very drinkable, and perfect neat, on ice, or in your favorite cocktail.

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.
