Grander Rye Barrel Finish

This review is for the “Why Rum When You Can Rye,” group pick from Rochester, NY Elite Barrel Pickers. I loved this first experience with both Grander and Panama rums. I was immediatelt impressed with how well this column still rum held up to the 3 year rye barrel finish. Im interested in trying a single barrel expression with less aggressive finishing but I’ve also heard great things about the Port finish so I’ll be in the lookout for that as well. A thoroughly enjoyable sweet but complex and oak-forward rum that I intend to keep a bottle of on the shelf.

Maple and fruit compote nose. Muddled fruits and herbs. Slick. Easy drinking.

Good overall. Very spicy. Harsh aftertaste.
