Our award winning single cask finished rums are treated with the same level of care that we treat our single malt whisky, using quality casks typically reserved for Scotch Whisky production.
We carefully source quality rum from across the world, before pairing each rum with a series of casks.
SINGLE CASK RUMS
AWARD WINNING cask finishing
we examine rum through a wood program that is built with a whisky maker’s mindset.
Our single cask rums are finished in casks each imparting its unique characteristics. We begin with an unfinished reference cask marked ‘REF’. This is our starting point, from which we can trace the impact of each wood used in maturation.
Sherry casks are commonly used in maturation of whiskies to impart juicy red fruits and warming spices notes. Not one shoe fits all, to find differences in this space we can change which type of sherry cask we use; Pedro Ximenez, Olorosso, Palo Cortado.
HM Victualling Yard
Royal Elizabeth Yard was built in 1946 in Kirkliston, West Lothian and was a Royal Naval Victualling Depot. Unit 9, where today we keep our casks, was the former rum store for the fleet’s daily rum ration. The last regulation issue of rum in the Royal Navy took place on Friday 31st July 1970. Ever since that time, Unit 9 has laid empty.
