Description
Pure Distilling Limited Release Barbados Rum Barrel Chunks come from seasoned oak barrels previously used to mature Caribbean rum. This limited release provides an easy way to add genuine barrel-aged rum character, rich colour and greater depth to homemade spirits.
As a result, the seasoned oak develops rich notes of molasses, vanilla and caramel. In addition, hints of dried fruit, toasted oak and gentle tropical spice create a rounded Caribbean rum-style profile.
Pure Distilling Barbados Rum Barrel Chunks Instructions
40% ABV Method
- Add 500g of Barbados Rum Barrel Chunks to 2.5L of 40% ABV spirit.
- Then allow the spirit to age for approximately 7–8 days, or to taste.
- During ageing, taste regularly and remove the chunks once you reach your preferred level of oak character.
60% ABV Method
- Alternatively, add 500g of Barbados Rum Barrel Chunks to 2.5L of spirit at 60% ABV.
- Allow the spirit to age for approximately 4–5 days, or to taste.
- However, taste regularly because the higher alcohol strength extracts flavour and oak character more quickly.
- Once the desired character develops, remove the chunks and dilute the spirit to your preferred drinking strength.
Ageing times are a guide. Because genuine barrel wood naturally varies, flavour intensity and extraction time can also vary between batches.
Net weight: 500g
