Studer Old Barrel Rum 1653

Old Barrel Rum 1653 comes from Studer, a long established Swiss distillery, and is made on a pot still from molasses. Pot distillation usually gives more body and weight than column spirit, and at 44.8% there is a little more grip than the standard European bottling.

Matured in oak and aged in the cooler Swiss climate, it leans toward a rounded, sweet leaning style rather than a dry or austere one. With no formal tasting record on file, expect the soft caramel and oak character typical of aged molasses rum, carried by the slightly fuller texture pot stills tend to deliver.
