Rum et al Baseline Still Strength Rum

A baseline for all of Rum Et Al's other rums to be compared to. It is a no-frills, straightforward rum with absolutely no additives - fermented from 100% baking grade molasses for 16-22 days using the distiller's yeast strain of saccharomyces cerevisiae, then double pot distilled to a spirit strength of 75% abv. 

Don't let the term baseline fool you, the rum is flavorful and delicious (it has a total congener concentration of 309 g/hlpa). That comes from the choice of quality raw ingredients, the long-duration fermentation, and the pot distillation. 

The nose shows cheese danish with tons of dried fruits like raisins and figs, followed by notes of leaves and tree branches with key lime oil and a little bit of roastiness. On the palate, the mouthfeel is silky and oily. Dried fruit transforms into cinnamon bark and some bitter cacao nibs, with citrus notes behind, especially grapefruit.
