Rum Barrel Aging Guide

PORT ESSENCE (2 WEEKS)
By beginning with a Port Essence cure, you’ll be able to achieve rich and mellow fruity tones while combing an elegant and smooth experience to your oak notes. When doing a seasoning cure, we want to add 1 cup of water for every 20 ml of essence. To complete our Port Essence Cure, add one 20 ml bottle of port essence and 1 cup of water to your barrel. Allow your barrel to cure for 2 weeks, rotating once a week.
BACARDI BLACK (5 WEEKS)
Kick of your first batch with a white or dark rum. After 3 or 4 weeks you’ve flavoured your barrel with beautiful sugar cane or molasses notes that will come through in your next batch.
BERZERK COFFEE (3-4 WEEKS)
Here is a special treat, by using our 5:1 coffee concentrate, you’ll be able to age your cold brew coffees this summer while also imparting delicious, robust coffee flavour into your wood. Grab our Berzerk Coffee Concentrate here. Once you’ve completed aging your coffee concentrate, enjoy it as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic specialty coffee, or as a refreshing cold brew.
BLACK SEAL (8 WEEKS)
The rum batches have create a flavour memory in your barrel. It’s stained with rum notes and a sugarcane finish that is going to come through in the next batch. Now we’re moving onto aging whiskey. Age it according to taste.
