New Grove Single Barrel Cask 174 was selected by Green Island UK Ltd. After trying a few different one, Cask 174 was choosen for its distictive characteristic and rummynest. The rum is complex with a distinctive spicy woodburn to begining followed by mellow sweetness with warm vanilla pudding with custard sauce. Trully amazing.
This Single Barrel has been aged in 400 litres French oak cask with 50% aged in new oak cask that gives maximum oxygen for faster aging, sweetness and tannins, and 50% in used Cognac cask that gives smoothness. The new and used cask are then assembled and slowly diluted, from 65% to 55% strength during the first 3 years, to have the best balance between new wood tannins and old wood smoothness.
On the nose you will have memories of sweet papaya, dried spices, hints of vanilla. Followed by an intense peppery, dry fruits and long finish on the palate and some smokiness.
