Frigate Reserve 8 Year Old Rum

Having sampled virtually every classic rum in existence, we had a very specific idea of what we felt constituted traditional and iconic Rums. When we set out to create a Rum that was everything we dreamed of, its requirements were that of richness, smoothness, and just enough sweetness to lightly taste; no overwhelming fruitiness or cover of the natural Rum stored in wood casks. Being granted access to Don Pancho’s Reserves we were able to blend together thousands of combinations of true aged Rum in search of the perfect almalgamation. After months of trial and error, we unanimously shared an epiphanal moment when we first tried the current 21 Year Old. Once we had the exact recipe, we were able to simply back down the barrels to their younger years maintaining the lineage of the 21 Year from 15 to 12 to 8 Years. .

As you move to the 15 and 12 Year, you begin to get more of the sharpness of a younger rum. Still smooth and gentle enough to sip, some will find a significant difference between the two. Enjoy experimenting and seeing which suits your personal palate.

The youngest, our 8 Year, has a clean flavor profile of simply Rum aged in wood casks. Perfect for those who come from a world of less sweet spirits (Bourbons, Whiskeys, Scotches) this is the perfect Rum to sip, serve over ice, or blend to your liking.
