Retribution Distilling Single Cask Aged Rum is a Somerset-distilled rum bottled at 58% ABV. Aged for 3 years and 4 months in a 200-litre ex-bourbon Jim Beam cask, this inaugural release comes from cask number 1, with 170 bottles produced.
Tasting notes
Candied orchard fruit and demerara sugar on the nose, followed by vanilla and tropical fruit notes. A little water can bring out apricot and lychee flavours, with a long, lingering finish.
Distillation and ageing
Made using Ragus molasses and EC118 yeast, the rum is fermented for at least seven days before distillation in a direct-fired copper pot still and maturation in an ex-bourbon cask.
