We are excited to bring you our latest Redstone barrel society Single barrel . This particular offering is from the folks at Grander who are known for their single origin Panamanian Rum. Meaning it is distilled, bottled and uses locally grown cane sugar . They list only Molasses from locally sourced cane sugar, their proprietary yeast strain, local water and the barrel as the only ingredients that do in to their Rum with no other additives. The reason for listing the barrel as one of their ingredients is because it plays a huge factor in the finished product. They use ex-bourbon barrels that previously held sherry, then transferred in to a secondary barrel for finishing.

The Redstone Barrel society barrel (# P05-T021) is listed with a 13 year age statement in which it was aged in ex-bourbon (some of which was previously filled with sherry) then transferred into Toasted oak barrel (Woodford reserve double oaked) for another year calling it their toasted oak finish. Bottled uncut and unfiltered (The only filtering this barrel went through was to remove any oak) and no artificial colors are added.

This offering is bottled at 63.9% Abv or 127.8 proof.

Tasting notes (Neat): Nose of Brown sugar, banana, caramel and cherry jam, Robust mouthfeel with flavors of brown sugar, whipped cream, banana and tons of caramel..Think of a Bananas foster dessert topped with a luxardo cherry. The finish lingers with soft whipped cream, stewed stone fruit and more brown sugar making you long for that next sip. The more this Rum breathes the more of that tropical flavor open up. Drink neat, with a big cube, a splash of water or in your favorite tiki cocktail for a different experience in each glass.

Bottles are available at both Redstone Liquors locations our app and website $64.99/750ml
