This product is Single Barrel and Barrel Strength, Varying in final proof from 110-124 (55%-62% ABV)
END Koloa Tasting with distiller Bob Gunter
(Tasted 8th and last)
Per the Distiller: Made from sugarcane juice and distilled in twice. Once each in two different copper hybrid stills.
Barrel #B-078, bottled at 59.98% ABV
3.23.22
Served: Neat, Flute
Bottle Open: Same Day
Last intake: Coconut Rum
A: Heavy Oak. Much like Bourbon, but more gentle.
F: Heavy Oak. Very gentle on the wood tannins and char due to the second-use nature of the barrel.
Most of the character of the base distillate is lost, but not undully. It still tastes like rum, but this is the rum I would use to introduce a bourbon drinkeker to rum or vice versa.
