Cherry rum

Post by Ridgeback816 »

So last year I made a panela rum with molasses and oats well we had a summer lots of mojitos and there was just enough to put away and forget about. Today i cracked it open, it was good but was missing something. I decided to add a stave of ex bourbon oak and a couple of French oak chips because it definitely needs some vanilla and some structure. I am guessing it should be right as rain by July 4th

Is it just me or is the “cherry” part of this post missing? 🍒
🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.
Per a conversation I had with Mr. Jay Gibbs regarding white oak barrel staves: “…you gotta get it burning good.”

Cherry, cherry.

To be fair, every respondent has mentioned cherry. This post is loaded with cherry.

I'm not even drinking yet.

I may have forgotten to mention that when I put it away to forget I added a cherry wood stave

I imagine cherry wood would compliment rum nicely. I have enjoyed it in my corn whiskey.
