An 8 Year Old barrel aged rum from molasses, bottled by Germany’s Helmut Wermut, drawn from a column still and matured in ex-bourbon oak, presented at a soft 40%.
Description
This barrel aged rum comes from Helmut Wermut, a German house better known for its vermouth, here turning to an aged molasses rum. It is a column still spirit carried through eight years in ex-bourbon oak and bottled at a gentle 40%. Continental ageing tends to be slow and gentle, so even at this age expect a measured, integrated wood character rather than heavy tropical oak. Look for soft vanilla, light caramel and a touch of oak spice over a clean molasses base, an easy, approachable aged rum from a maker working outside the usual rum heartlands.
