Hey guys..
Thought I might start a thread on rum, being that it is my passion and what I put all my effort into. I understand there is a rum chat thread but I was hoping to get some very refined information on the wash, still preference, running technique, and owning preference for YOUR Rum? How do you like your finished rum and how do you achieve it?
Being relatively new into distilling my rum stocks are limited. I have 5 litres of 45% ageing on 25g french oak, 10 litres at 50% on 50g french oak, and 20l ageing on 100g American oak at 65% ABC. The French oak rum is true to macrum recipe. It is stripped and spirit ran through my detuned boka. I found the flavour nice rummy and sweet but perhaps a little bit light. The 65% stock i have ageing on American oak is an all mollases rum. 8kg mollases into a 30litre wash. I'm hoping this will produce a heavier rum once it gets some age under it..
Cheers
