Barrell Craft Spirits Rum

The casks used for Barrell Craft Spirits Rum were on an Atlantic voyage that spanned almost a year before they reached us. Rather than releasing them as single barrels, they experimented with countless combinations and came up with what they think is an outstanding blend of vintage rums from Barbados, Jamaica and Guyana. This multi-layered rum was bottled at cask strength so you can experience its true flavor.

Barrell Craft Spirits Rum Tasting Notes

Nose: Strong notes reminiscent of tepache, a Mexican fermented beverage made from pineapple rinds. Others emerge - fruity notes of green grapes and lime hull, earthy notes of oyster shell and potting soil, and very Jamaican vegetal notes of Kalamata olive, caper, pine needle tea, scallion, and pollen.

Palate: Comparatively gentle, the Guyanese lending demerara syrup, purple plum, and cre?me de cassis, the Barbados bringing characteristic florals and spice: rosehip tea, cinnamon, and star anise. These notes are held together by a fresh maritime character -- seaweed, sea salt, and a little glycerine richness.

Finish: The Jamaican hogo is back, as is the tepache, but it’s also spicy, with notes of ginger, turmeric, and catnip. Lychee makes an unexpected appearance.

Distillery Information

Founded in 2014, Barrell Craft Spirits scoops up extra casks of premium Bourbon and Rye and bottles ‘em up at full strength. Each batch is completely different. Sometimes the coolest casks on the market are Tennessee-style Whiskeys, sometimes they’re Kentucky Bourbon. The good stuff could be straight, or it could be a finished wood. The point is that they find the best odd lots and “left-overs” that would more likely be tossed into a generic blend and sell it to us in all of their glory.
