SBS 2019/2023 1423 Single Barrel Selection 4 years old Philippines Rum 70 cl 57%

Filipino rum rarely appears on Danish shelves - this single cask release is a chance to taste a country most rum lovers have never encountered.

Expert Description

SBS 2019/2023 1423 Single Barrel Selection 4 Year Philippines Rum is a Single Cask Rum from the Philippines, 4 years old, double matured on bourbon and virgin oak casks, bottled at 57%.

The rum was distilled in 2019 and bottled in August 2023 from a single cask, non-chill filtered and without added colour. It was first matured on a bourbon cask and then moved onto a virgin oak cask, giving a double maturation profile with both classic bourbon sweetness and the more aggressive, spicy character of the unused oak. The release is exclusive to the Danish market and limited to 312 bottles.

With Filipino rum as its base, this is a rare opportunity to taste a style that differs markedly from the more familiar Caribbean rums.
