THE GRAND CRU BORDEAUX SERIES
Bottle Size | 70cl
ABV | 42%
A blend of three- to five-year-old aged dark rum from Barbados and double distilled pot-still rum produced in the Copeland Distillery. After a 336-hour fermentation, the spirit passes through our 2 copper-pot stills; Betty, a 600L wash still, and Hessie, our 500L spirit still, before a precise heads cut is taken for optimum taste and balance.
The carefully selected Barbados rum has been aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels, with our own Copeland rum aged in Quarter Bourbon casks. After 8 months in these heavy, first fill American oak casks, we have transferred the spirt to 8 x Premier One, French grand cru Bordeaux casks to finish for a period of four months. With these casks having held some of the region’s most prestigious wines of 2020, the flavour profiles drawn out of the French oak are robust and full
