Bottle Tasting Notes
NOSE: This is the bad boy Big Brother of the 8 year old. Time has mellowed the soul, yet there is s still a brutishness there. The brown sugar and maple notes come out with the addition of water which tames this beast to unveil subtle spices.
PALATE: In the mouth this rum is absolutely gorgeous! it’s brimming with brilliant fruity notes and it has an aftertaste that I really like – a lot! Part is wood and then there’s something else... apricot, vanilla and maybe mango…and other mashed tropical fruits, hints of liquorice top off a very pleasant, dry finish.
FINISH: Then that after taste…I cannot put words on what it is…but it’s so delicious…
Distillery Notes
Searching the World for amazing one of a kind spirits, people and drinkables. All Rhumb Runner Rums are 100% barrel aged rums.
The Rhumb line was the most common way to navigate port to port when rum came of age in the 1700's, shipping out of Caribbean ports to the American Colonies & Europe. Rhumb Runner pays homage to the sailors, pirates and traders who built its history, as well as those today who've recognized this great spirit is again rising to its glory.
Our Collector Cask Series is true cask to bottle. No water, additives, coloring or special filtering was used to achieve its rich coloring and flavors. 100% of the rum enters a single barrel and remains that way until bottled, during which time only the Angels were allowed a hand in its crafting.
Solera is one of the most common aging systems used for rums, however it misrepresents the true age of the rum in a bottle.
Essentially the age statement on a solera aged rum is the age of the oldest rum used, yet rums within the blend can be much younger than the age statement on the bottle.
With Rhumb Runner the age statement on the bottle is the true age of every drop of rum from the cask.
