Retribution Distilling Single Cask Aged Rum, 70cl

• InStock.net

• Retribution Single Cask Aged Rum is the first ever cask of rum laid down to mature at this boutique Somerset distillery. The rum is fermented for at least 7 days and then distilled in a unique direct fired copper pot still. Next comes ageing in an ex-bourbon Jim Beam 200L cask for 3+ years which has created a seductive depth of flavour and smoothness despite the hefty 58% Alc. Alex's Tasting Note: Intensely aromatic on the nose with candied orchard fruits and demerara sugar. The vanilla notes from the bourbon cask are well integrated and softly fragrant with tropical fruit overtones.At 58%, I'd recommend adding some water to drink, as you would for a fine single malt whisky. This opens up the rum and emphasises the vanilla as well as bringing some apricot and lychee flavours to the fore. With a long, lingering finish, this is wonderfully drinkable and one to savour slowly for maximum enjoyment! Richard, the Head Distiller, focuses on producing the highest quality, small batch, artisan spirits with a level of attention and care that explains why this rum is just so damn good!
