Interesting blend of maple with a dark rum. It has a bold flavor but it is smooth and doesn’t bite with aftertaste.
Mad River Maple Cask Rum
About this bottle
This maple cask-finished rum is produced in Vermont's Mad River Valley, where the distillery takes its name. It's initially made using the same process as their First Run Rum, which is distilled from sourced demerara sugar that's fair-trade certified. It matures in a combination of toasted and charred barrels, before finishing in barrels previously used to age Vermont maple syrup.

The maple syrup cask is powerful on the nose. It carries over to the palate with burnt sugar and tropical fruit.
Decent rum but nothing really jumps out other than the subtle maple character from the cask.
Perhaps my favorite rum to date. Deliciously simple maple taste with a nice toasty finish.
