Bayou Special Release Single Barrel Rum 0,7L 40%

Bayou Reserve Rum 0.7L 40% Louisiana Rum The oldest sugar mill in the USA was brought on board to produce the molasses, which is used as a base. They process the sugar cane grown in southern Louisiana into the required molasses, which is then distilled in copper pot stills. The solera system was mainly chosen for storage. The solera process involves mixing rums of different ages. The barrels are stacked in a pyramid shape, with the oldest barrels in the bottom row and the youngest at the top. If you want to bottle a batch, you use the lowest, oldest barrels. The resulting empty space is then filled with the next oldest from the rows above, which in turn is filled with the one above, and so on. The advantage of this storage method is a 'natural' mixing interval which should ensure a consistent taste and the same quality. Taste profile In the mouth, the Bayou Reserve Rum has rather dry oak notes accompanied by the aroma of dark fruits. There are also pronounced apple and cinnamon aromas, and maple can also be detected in the background.

Bayou XO Mardi Gras Rum 0.7L 40% The spirit of Louisiana Anyone who has ever been to Louisiana knows it: the early morning fog that often lies over the state in the Gulf of Mexico. The many swamps and rivers mean there is a very humid, subtropical climate, which leads to an average humidity of up to 70% and this morning phenomenon. They wanted to capture this spirit and created the 'Bayou XO Mardi Gras Rum'. It matures for up to 6 years in bourbon barrels using the Solera method and is finished in sherry barrels. This not only creates the wonderfully deep mahogany color, but also an exquisite aroma. This has clear smoky notes and the aroma of dark fruits such as plums and blackcurrants, as well as the sweetness of tupelo honey. Tupelo tree Tupelo honey, which is obtained from the flowers of the tupelo tree, is mainly produced in the swamps and river valleys of Florida and Georgia. Since the beginning of the 20th century, around 100 beekeepers have dedicated themselves to producing single-variety tupelo honey with the help of the western honey bee. Tupelo honey is known for its special aroma. With almost twice the fructose content of glucose, it is significantly sweeter than honey we know in our latitudes. The color also stands out from the honey we are familiar with; in tupelo honey it is light gold with a greenish shimmer. The taste is described as very heavy, spicy aroma.
