Blending rum with neutral?

Post by Glock19Fan »

Hello.

I have some rum againg, and already after 3 months, I think it has picked up too much oak flavor (it was a new barrel). I am probably going to let it age another 3 months or so, just to pick up some extra magic, but when I am done, I think the oak will be too over powering.

I was considering making some neutral from an all sugar was to blend it with, to mellow out the flavor, and to lighten the color.

Would this work out, or would it change the profile of the flavor too much? I was considering blending it with fresh unaged white rum, but personally the white rum IMO tastes pretty bad. A good neutral spirit would keep the proof after watering down, and hopefully wouldnt effect the flavor in a negative way.

And experience/tips?

Thanks!
Cool guy
