Key West Distillery - Aged Key West Raw & Unfiltered Rum

This is the most full-bodied of the Key West barrel-aged rums. It is aged in brand new American oak barrels with a #3 char on the inside.

The Chef first soaks each barrel in salt water from the local Key West Ocean. As the salt dries on the inside of the barrel, it seals in and condenses the rich flavors of the bold American oak. By utilizing this "Chef Distilled" original technique, the rum is able to acquire a much wider variety of flavors from the wood. This "salt-curing" technique is currently gaining world-wide attention.
