Islay Rum Company Islay Rum Barrel Aged ex Islay Whisky Cask (46%)

An aged rum from the Islay Rum Company, made in the historic Old Lemonade Factory in Port Ellen on Islay. Caribbean rum is fermented for 168 hours, distilled in a copper pot still and matured in casks that previously held heavily peated Islay single malt whisky. The result combines classic rum aromas with maritime smoke. On the nose there is peat smoke, vanilla, creamy caramel and a fine sea-salt breeze; on the palate it is full-bodied with toffee, caramel, vanilla, dry smoke, spicy pepper and a subtle maritime saltiness, with an oily texture and a long finish of smoke, oak and fine sweetness. Limited to 3,000 bottles worldwide.
