Burning Barn Smoked Rum 70 cl 40%

Retired apple trees from a fruit farm become smoke, and the smoke becomes rum - Burning Barn's most award-winning release starts in the orchard.

Expert Description

Burning Barn Smoked Rum is a smoked Rum, 3-year-old Demerara-based, bottled at 40%.

Burning Barn is based on a fruit farm and uses wood from their own retired apple trees to cold-smoke a 3-year-old, fruity Demerara rum. The apple wood is split and dried before being used for smoking, giving the rum an intense smoky character with clear hints of apple and burnt syrup. The result has won several awards and is described as seductively soft following a powerful nose.

The combination of fruit farm and rum production is unusual and gives Burning Barn Smoked a clear signature that sets it apart from traditionally peated or oak-smoked rum.
