XO Cognac Cask Finish / Double Oak Aged
Twice aged in bespoke barrels made by our appointed cooperages. The first aging is in American oak Bourbon Barrels, the second in European Limousin Oak, XO Cognac Barrels.
A blend of 8–10-year-old Trinidadian rums previously aged in Bourbon barrels. Very limited production of the only, authentic West Indian rums aged on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
We call our innovative aging technique "The Méthode Sillage", a term used in perfumery. The method was developed to give the aged, slightly overproof cuvées a top note, a heart and a base note. The resulting perfume "floats" above a body of warm and complex botanical rum.
Because the second aging takes place in Ireland's mild, coastal climate following the original aging in American Oak in Trinidad's rainforest climate the rums are tempered to release surprising notes.
The result is a rum with bold opening notes of exotic spice and flowers that progress to apricot, ripe apple and pear. It ends in lingering tones of caramel and malty tea.
