Spring is a great time to enjoy a neat glass of rum or a rum-based cocktail. If this is your jam, the folks at Denizen Rum have you covered with the first expression in its new Wander Series, its Single Origin Edition Jamaican Rum Finished in Port Casks.
Denizen Single Origin Edition Jamaican Rum Finished in Port Casks
Denizen’s Wander Series was created to showcase single-origin Caribbean rum cask-finished rums featuring blends from different island origins. The first release is Denizen’s Single Origin Edition Jamaican Rum Finished in Port Casks.
Imported by San Francisco’s Hotaling & Co., this new expression was made with a combination of pot and column still distilled rums that were aged for a minimum of 8 years in American white oak barrels, which were previously used to mature whiskey and bourbon. The rums are then blended and finished in ex-port casks for a minimum of 3 months.
According to the brand, the result is a multi-layered, complex 54% ABV rum that opens with notes of nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is centered on notes of caramel, bananas foster, and figs. The finish features cinnamon spice, molasses, and vanilla cream.
“A rum of this caliber can stand beside some of the world’s best whiskies as a spirit to sip and savor,” Gerry Ruvo, owner of Denizen Rum, says.
“Hotaling & Co. is known for its portfolio of some of the world’s finest whiskies, and we’re confident that Denizen’s Wander Series of Single Origin rums will reveal how the same attention to production details and artistry achieves an equally exceptional spirit as some of the finest single malt whiskies coveted today.”

This unique expression is currently available at select alcohol retailers in California as well as online at Hotaling & Co.’s Bottle Shop for the suggested retail price of $78. For more information about Denizen, visit www.denizenrum.com and www.hotalingandco.com.
