Distiller Notes
A peppery, fruity rum from Barbados, Cockspur Platinum Rum is matured for a short time in oak casks before being filtered to remove any color, creating layers of depth and complexity throughout the palate. Notes of vanilla, papaya, mango and pepper fill the nose, with undercurrents of oak spice and caramel.
From pirate life on the open sea to Caribbean island paradises, perhaps no other spirit evokes such a romantic history as Rum. Made through fermentation and distillation of molasses or the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane, Rums range from 20% to over 70% alcohol and come in a variety of tones from clear to dark. Highest quality Rums are generally produced in pot stills and aged in wood, while less expensive Clear or “White” Rums are produced in column stills and bottled without barrel aging. Naturally, Rums form the base of tropical cocktails like Daquiris and Mojitos.
