The rum was shipped in casks to Italy in a trade for sherry casks. It was 5 years tropically aged at that time. After it was in Italy it was put into sherry casks for 10-11 further years at this time. This makes the rum 15-16 years old at bottling.
The rum is 51% ABV at cask strength. It was selling at its release in 2013 for 155-185 dollars per bottle. In late 2014 it went down to 100 dollars per bottle after its 2nd release. The plan is for 1500 bottles per year for 5 years each year the release adds an additional year to its age.
This rum I bought recently when Astor wines had an amazing rum sale for 84.00. I hear great things from this bottle. I for some reason can't wait to taste this rum as I love sherry cask rum.
Anyone have any thought or experience or thoughts on this rum?
