The Ron Colón Salvadoreño rum used in RumRye is made from a special blend, creating a complex flavor profile. The blend includes a 6-year-old Salvadoran rum from Licorera Cihuatán distillery with aged and unaged pot-distilled rums from Worthy Park Estate, Monymusk and Hampden distilleries in Jamaica. By combining column-distilled and pot-distilled rums, the overall flavor offers contrasting characteristics that interact to create something quite unique.
The whiskey in RumRye is a 2017 American Straight 100% Rye Whiskey, a 4-year old straight whiskey produced from 100% rye to showcase the warm and rich spice of the grain. It’s aged in a charred new oak container, with #4 Char barrel a char level on the staves and #2 Char on the heads. The overall flavor is bold with distinctive honey like texture, fresh mint and floral notes.
