Goldener Herbst & SLYRS Bavarian Single Malt: eine perfekte Symbiose! #autumnleaves #weloveslyrs #slyrs #bavarianalps #slyrscaffeelunchery #singlemaltwhisky #indiansummer Finishing whisk(e)y in a second barrel is a great way for a distiller or blender to put a unique stamp on their juice. It’s a move that’s becoming more and more prevalent too, with sherry, port, beer, rum, and even coffee casks/ barrels all getting play. Each of these iterations and expressions brings something unique to the final product, but today we’re focusing on whiskeys that are finished with rum barrels. Though not an officially recognized category, dark rum is aged rum that is dark in appearance from the time spent in a barrel interacting with wood. Of course, there might be caramel coloring or molasses in the liquid to darken the color, too. Plantation rum makes a great dark rum with just a bit of caramel color. Given its French ownership, the rum gives off a distinctly French twist—Xaymaca Special Dry is a blend of Jamaican pot still rum aged for one to three years in Jamaica, then another year in cognac casks in France. Main articles: Drum (container) and Barrel (unit) Blue 55-US gallon (44imp gal, 200L) barrel (drum) Rum is made from molasses or sugarcane juice, water, and yeast. Sometimes coloring and sugar or other flavoring is added to the spirit before bottling.

A barrel [1] or cask [2] is a hollow cylindrical container with a bulging center, longer than it is wide. They are traditionally made of wooden staves and bound by wooden or metal hoops. The word vat is often used for large containers for liquids, usually alcoholic beverages; [3] a small barrel or cask is known as a keg. [4] International laws require any whisky bearing the label " Scotch" to be distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of three years and one day in oak casks. [17] Charred pineapple and honeyed sweetness harmonise with the silky whiskey as two spirits collide in magnificent fashion from this collaboration between Ireland’s Teeling Distillery and Plantation Rum ! Teeling took its Small Batch blended Irish whiskey, initially matured in ex-bourbon and ex-Central American rum casks, and treated it to a further 12-month maturation in casks that previously contained the mouthwatering Plantation Pineapple Stiggins’ Fancy rum. Glorious stuff.

Some types of tequila are aged in oak barrels to mellow its flavor. "Reposado" tequila is aged for a period of two months to one year, "Añejo" tequila is aged for up to three years, and "Extra Añejo" tequila is aged for at least three years. Like with other spirits, longer aging results in a more pronounced flavor. The Roman historian Pliny the Elder reports that cooperage in Europe originated with the Gauls in Alpine villages where they stored their beverages in wooden casks bound with hoops. [10] Pliny identified three different types of coopers: ordinary coopers, wine coopers and coopers who made large casks. [11] Large casks contain more and bigger staves and are correspondingly more difficulty to assemble. Roman coopers tended to be independent tradesmen, passing their skills on to their sons. The Greek geographer Strabo records that wooden pithoi (barrels) were lined with pitch to stop leakage and preserve the wine. [12] Frequently Asked Questions". doe.gov.

Laws in several jurisdictions require that whiskey be aged in wooden barrels. The law in the United States requires that " straight whiskey" (with the exception of corn whiskey) must be stored for at least two years in new, charred oak containers. [16] Other forms of whiskey aged in used barrels cannot be called "straight". [16] Since the U.S. law requires the use of new barrels for several popular types of whiskey, which is not typically considered necessary elsewhere, whiskey made elsewhere is usually aged in used barrels that previously contained American whiskey (usually bourbon whiskey). The typical bourbon barrel is 53 US gallons (200L; 44impgal) in size, which is thus the de facto standard whiskey barrel size worldwide. [19] [20] Some distillers transfer their whiskey into different barrels to "finish" or add qualities to the final product. These finishing barrels frequently aged a different spirit (such as rum) or wine. Other distillers, particularly those producing Scotch, often disassemble five used bourbon barrels and reassemble them into four casks with different barrel ends for aging Scotch, creating a type of cask referred to as a hogshead.

Barrels are also used as a unit of measurement for dry goods (dry groceries), such as flour or produce. Traditionally, a barrel is 196 pounds (89kg) of flour (wheat or rye), with other substances such as pork subject to more local variation. In modern times, produce barrels for all dry goods, excepting cranberries, contain 7,056 cubic inches, about 115.627 L. [34] Lots of Islay smoke is joined here by BBQ pineapple, fresh mango, cola cube sweetness, waxy orange and vanilla as Smokehead brings together salty and sweet. The brand bottles Islay single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed distillery to do interesting things with, in this case popping it in casks that have previously held Caribbean rum.Dark rum and whiskey share a lot of nuances. Though one is made from a sugar cane base and another with a mix of cereals and grains, their aging process is very similar. That is, they mellow in oak until they’re just right. That oak exchanges the sugars in the veins of its wooden staves with the spirits carried therein, adding color, texture, and flavors along the way. In turn, flavors are left behind in the wood that can then add a little extra something to whatever goes in that barrel next. This may sound like putting a hat on a hat but, really, it’s just a way to add extra depth to the sip.

Flavours of pineapple upside-down cake, honeyed orchard fruit, brown sugar, and cinnamon pastries can be enjoyed in this approachable single malt from The Glenlivet. For Caribbean Reserve, the clue is in the name, as the huge distillery took a portion of this whisky and finished in casks which previously held Caribbean rum. The distillery folks recommend making a malty twist on a Mai Tai with this, which sounds delicious. Angel’s Envy took its time when they decided which rum barrels to use with their signature rye. They tasted over 100 rums to land on the exact Caribbean rum they wanted to age their spicy juice in. The rye is aged according to standard rye rules for the U.S. and then is filled into those rum barrels for an additional 18 months of mellowing.Modern wooden barrels for wine-making are made of French common oak ( Quercus robur), white oak ( Quercus petraea), American white oak ( Quercus alba), more exotic is Mizunara Oak [5] all typically have standard sizes: Recently Oregon Oak ( Quercus Garryana) has been used. [6] Jamaican rum has a high ester count which give aromas and flavors across the spectrum, most particularly fruit flavors like grapes and berries, bananas, and pineapple. Jamaican producers learned early on that such naturally occurring compounds could be generated through longer and less-controlled fermentation, and by c reating conditions suitable for ester formation. Higher-ester Jamaican rums may ferment anywhere between one and three weeks, or even longer compared to other island rum producers which ferment for one to three days. Lots of tropical mango and banana alongside buttery caramel, brown sugar and rum spice are found in this delight from Ireland’s Tullamore D.E.W.
