Fifteen years in ex-bourbon casks has given this Danish rum a depth rarely found outside the Caribbean - peach, pineapple and coconut in a glass brewed in an old slaughterhouse in Jammerbugten.
Expert description
Great Dane 15 Year is a Dark Sweet Rum from Skotlander, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 42%.
The Great Dane series is Skotlander's flagship, and the 15-year release represents the longest maturation in the range. The rum has been allowed to mature for fifteen years in ex-bourbon casks, where time has created a harmonious balance of sweetness, oak and tropical fruit. The lightly charred, sweet bourbon barrels give the rum its characteristic depth and a long, warm finish.
Behind Great Dane is Skotlander Spirits, a family-run company that since 2013 has produced award-winning rum, gin and liqueur in an old slaughterhouse in Pandrup in Jammerbugten. Great Dane has won several international awards and has been named one of the world's best rums.
