The rums included in the final blend primarily include charcoal filtered aged rum from the famed Angostura distillery in Trinidad that has been distilled in continuous column stills and aged up to 5 years in small American oak barrels to impart a rich and refined flavor. A small component of fresh unaged Trinidadian rum has been combined with trace amounts of an intermediate blend of Jamaican pot still rums consisting of 15 different high ester rums, providing a firm backbone where the filtered aged rum can lay upon. The different production methodologies and cultures that have influenced the craftsmanship of Denizen Aged White Rum give the product much more depth and complexity compared to common mixing rums that are thinner with more neutral flavors. The result is a well-balanced, three dimensional, crystal clear rum that is sure to make cocktails shine.
