Eight kilometres from Trolden Distillery in Kolding lies the Lindely vineyard, where grapes are frozen to make a Danish ice wine called Nattefrost, and it is the emptied Nattefrost casks that give this rum its name.
Expert Description
Trolden The Stokers Rum Lindely Nattefrost Edition is a Danish Rum finished in ice wine casks, bottled at 58%.
The rum comes from Trolden Destilleri & Bryghus in Kolding, where its own molasses-based rum was filled into casks that previously held Lindely vineyard's Nattefrost, a Danish ice wine made from grapes that are picked and pressed, then frozen for four weeks and slowly thawed to concentrate their sweetness. After two years of ageing in bourbon casks, the rum spent a further year in these ice wine casks, adding a sweet, fruity dimension on top of the powerful, molasses-driven base character. The range is named The Stokers, a nod to the fire-tenders who traditionally kept the distillation process running.
The result is a powerful yet sweet-toned rum, where molasses and oak meet a fruity, almost wine-like finish from the ice wine casks.

Did You Know?
The Nattefrost ice wine the casks come from is made by freezing the grapes for four weeks before slowly thawing them, a method that concentrates sweetness far more than ordinary ice wine production.
