Key West Distillery - Aged Key West Raw & Unfiltered Rum

We use Brand new American Oak Barrels{ we never use barrels that have had other whiskeys or bourbons in them) with a number 3 char inside the barrel. We take the new barrel down the street to the ocean and fill it with fresh sea water. After the barrel swells over night, we drain out the ocean water and let it cure{ dry out}. This removes all the fresh water and leaves a salt residual that opens the pores of the wood letting it age better and remove the good flavors from the wood into the rum. We also notice a Ph change after 1 year that smooths the rum out even more. You get a flavorful aged rum with notes of fig, plum, vanilla and finishes with a pepper like taste in the mouth from the magnesium in the salt. Its a one of a kind rum that represents the Key West Style thats now become famous world wide.
