About this bottle

Privateer uses a combination of grade "A" molasses and real boiled brown sugar (simmered pressed cane juice) for their Amber rum along with a proprietary yeast selected for this specific rum. It goes through a long fermentation process (six days) and is double-distilled. The first distillation is done in a pot-still and the second in a still with plates added. The final distillate is evaluated and based on its flavor will be selected to age in a new American oak barrel or a used bourbon or brandy barrel. Once matured, the rum is then blended together and further aged from four to eight months in third and fourth use barrels. Soft water is added in stages throughout and at bottling, the rum is 90 proof. Gently filtered. No additives including sugar.

Subtle coconut and sugar Nose after resting for 10 min. Subdued nose with first notes of coconut and vanilla. Some brown sugar and cane with a very slight caramel and a whiff of cinnamon, baking spices, and pineapple At tasting- the flavor definitely is more pronounced than the nose. Flavor begins with the caramel, some saltiness, and coconut and some ethanol heat but with a notable absence of young hot alcohol across the taste, just a clean burn here. The taste continues with flavors of brown sugar and molasses before landing of a moderately short finish of spice and sugar.

Very good for sipping. Strong taste without the strong burn. Very close to a whiskey or bourbon in my amateur opinion. You can definitely tell that there is no added sugars and flavors.
