A very nice and fruity rum. A nice everyday and easy to drink rum.
Overall an OK rum, but quite overpriced. Tasted it at the Stockholm Beer & Spirits Fair 2023. This Louisiana rum from Bayou is a molasses rum. The sugarcane has grown in the soils around the Mississippi River Delta. After fermentation it’s distilled in a copper pot still whereafter it’s aged in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in ex-sherry barrels for a total aging of up to 6 years using the Solera method.
Not worth the price (too expensive)Very nice bottle (nice finish)Very greedy
👃 I smell candied fruit, wood, burnt grass and a little vanilla. 👄 Caramel, a little honey and the roundness brought by sherry are added as I drink it, with a short finish. The result is an average 6-year-old rum, far from West Indian standards but probably suited to its domestic market.
