Enghaven Black Strap Batch 2 Small Batch Danish Rum 70 cl 42%

At the distillery near Randers, bourbon and sherry casks are blended with a final addition of molasses, giving this Danish rum a deep, dark character more reminiscent of sherry than of the Caribbean.

Expert Description

Enghaven Black Strap Batch 2 is a Danish Rum aged in ex-bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 42%.

The rum is produced by Enghaven Rum Distillery, the Danish small batch distillery near Randers, from molasses distilled in both pot and column stills. For Batch 2, casks were carefully selected for the blend, after which additional molasses is added to give the rum its characteristic dark sweetness. The name Black Strap refers to the dark, heavy molasses that is a central part of the recipe.

The result is a deep, sherry-driven rum, where spiced honey meets a hint of smoke.
