White Oak Reserve Rum
Silver medal, 2019 American Distilling Institute Craft Spirits Awards
Hard Truth White Oak Reserve Rum features our white rum rested in new, toasted and charred American white oak barrels, where complex and smoky caramel and butterscotch flavors meld beautifully with the fruit and sweet molasses notes of the base rum.
This Hard Truth is best served: in an old fashioned with sugar and orange bitters; in eggnog or cream with with orange and nutmeg.
Explore:
Though it’s produced in Indiana, this single-barrel rum was made by fermenting the molasses and cane sugar base with a Caribbean yeast strain. It’s an interesting concept, intended to add subtle fruitiness. Look for a honey hue and a mild aroma that suggests allspice and oak. The first sips lead with drying oak but finish with mellower caramel, brown sugar and spice, plus a toasty hint of pecan.
