Backwoods Reserve Rum
The Whiskey drinkers Rum: a warm, Oak-forward character with a mellow finish. Slight caramelized notes of molasses.
A blend of molasses and cane alcohol, fermented and distilled separately- aged for at least two years in New Life Hungarian White Oak barrels with no char. Bottled at 92 proof so as not to dilute the character from the barrel. Best sipped neat or on a large cube of ice, but check out some unique cocktail recommendations below!
