Bottle Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is quite light and it's pleasantly fruity, perhaps masked by the whopping 75.8% alcohol. Some water opens up the nose where the wood makes itself known but in the background, not upfront. The addition of water reveals more spices -ginger, nutmeg, vanilla and holiday baking.

PALATE: Without water, the flavour disappears quickly as the alcohol evaporates, leaving a flambéed banana taste. The addition of water, helps to mellow the flavour, yet the high alcohol is overwhelming. This is not for the feint of heart. Time in the glass and exposure to oxygen is what this calls for.

FINISH: Sweet hints of succulent tropical fruits but the nose doesn't really reveal what's to come. As a little imp frolics in your mouth, the nuances are brought to life, resulting in an inspiring rum that needs to be sipped slowly.


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.
