Intro:
Oxbow Estate rum is just that; a rum made using cane juice and molasses solely procured from its own estate on the Mississippi delta in Louisiana. This rum is aged for a minimum of two years in new American oak barrels and bottled at 47.5%. Let's dive in!
-
Nose:
Bold, fruity and rich on the nose: plums, pears, pineapple and tropical fruits dance with maple, molasses and a hint of char and spice.
-
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel on the palate, pleasant viscosity and the 95pf sits nicely. Pleasant combination of barrel char, honey, maple, a faint funk and more tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, mango. Lovely stuff!
-
Finish:
Long finish, at sub-100 proof I always wonder, but this rum is striking and the finish carries on for a good, long, while.
-
Overall:
Really great stuff from Oxbow on this aged release. It hits all of the right notes, remains dangerously drinkable neat throughout, and this oughta make a great cocktail beyond its great neat drinking demeanor.
