Rolling Fork Rum 9Yr Wheated Bourbon Cask

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Rolling Fork Rum 9Yr Wheated Bourbon Cask wraps you in a warm, honeyed embrace, with notes of toasted coconut and caramelized banana gliding across the palate. Crafted in Barbados and aged for nine years in wheated bourbon casks, this rum achieves a harmonious balance between rich oak spice and velvety vanilla sweetness. At 61.00% ABV, its bold character stands up beautifully to the savory richness of pork belly or the creamy decadence of caramel flan, making each pairing an experience to savor.
