From double-distilled cane juice in Ghana to European oak casks. Ghana Arc is one of RomDeLuxe's most unusual releases, both for its origin and for its maturation journey.
Expert Description
RomDeLuxe Limited Batch Series No. 1 Ghana Arc is a Ghana Rum distilled from pure cane juice, aged on new American oak casks in Europe and bottled at 60.3%.
The rum comes from Ghana, an unusual origin in the rum world, where it's double-distilled in traditional stills from pure cane juice rather than molasses. After distillation, the rum was shipped to Europe, where it aged entirely in new American oak casks, a maturation path markedly different from the tropical ageing most Caribbean rum undergoes. The release is limited to 188 bottles from this single batch.
The result is a lively, complex rum where the estery, agricole-like freshness of the cane juice meets a distinct, young oak character from the new casks.
